Jonah Hex #25

A sun-scorched desert showdown erupts on Luis Dominguez's cover for this June 1979 issue, where a red-haired figure is sent sprawling into a cactus-studded gulch as bullets kick up the dust around him, while a masked rider on horseback looms ominously on the ridge above. The story inside promises another of DC's "gut-searing novelettes" with "The Widow Maker!" — and the cover makes a compelling case that the title is well-earned. Michael Fleisher's writing paired with the art team of Dick Ayers and Romeo Tanghal ensures this slice of DC's Western frontier is as gripping as it looks.
