Jonah Hex #31

Jonah Hex faces his most dangerous showdown yet in this December 1979 entry from DC, as the cover's bold tagline warns that "Jonah's life is on the line when he meets: The Mankiller!" Luis Dominguez's cover art captures the scarred bounty hunter in a tense, wide-legged stance with both revolvers drawn, while the massive, shadowy figure of Arbee Stoneham looms ominously behind him against a frontier backdrop of horses and rough-hewn buildings. Michael Fleisher's story promises the kind of gritty, high-stakes Western drama that made this series a standout at the turn of the decade.
