Hex #12

Jonah Hex blazes away point-blank at a massive armored Terminator in this kinetic cover from Mark Texeira and Carlos Garzón — bullets sparking against chrome plating while explosions erupt behind him in a blaze of yellow and orange. Titled "When a Hero Falls!" and teasing a Stiletta backup battle to the death, this August 1986 issue of DC's post-apocalyptic Western promises no shortage of desperate, high-stakes action. Fleisher's sci-fi frontier series was doing something genuinely wild in 1986, and this cover captures that scrappy, anything-goes spirit perfectly.
