Jonah Hex #3

DC's scarred bounty hunter finds himself on the wrong side of the law in Jonah Hex #3 (1977), where the cover headline says it all: framed for murder, he had to kill to prove his innocence. José Luis García-López's cover captures the desperation perfectly — a wanted poster nailed to a tree bears Hex's name and a $10,000 reward as he engages in a fierce mounted struggle, grappling with an opponent on horseback in a tangle of reins and raised weapons. Michael Fleisher's story "The Fugitive!" promises the gritty, morally charged Western drama that made this series such a compelling corner of DC's 1977 lineup.
