Johnny Thunder #3

In "The Real Johnny Thunder," outlaw Lafe takes a page from a children's fable, using a clever twist on the old tale of the bell and the cat to outwit Nighthawk—sending him a pre-set alarm watch timed to trigger at the exact moment of his next heist. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with dynamic art by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs, this 1973 DC adventure features a sharp, suspenseful twist that plays with perception and timing. The cover, by Alex Toth and Sy Barry, captures the tension with a striking, stylized image of the watch's ominous glow.
