Black Fury #51

This Charlton title puts the magnificent black stallion Black Fury front and center on a dramatic 1965 cover by Dick Giordano, showing the powerful horse rearing up to face down a snarling grizzly bear while other wild horses — including a smaller foal — look on from nearby. The cover text frames the tension perfectly, noting that Black Fury bears the dual burden of ruling the wild herd and protecting his little family, and asking just how far he'll go to ensure their safety. With interior work from the dependable team of Joe Gill, Charles Nicholas, and Vince Alascia, this is a fine entry in Charlton's long-running equine adventure series.
