Jonah Hex #47

Jonah Hex stands his ground on the railroad tracks in front of a depot, both guns blazing as he's surrounded by armed adversaries closing in from every side — a tense, action-packed scene that perfectly captures the story's title, "Doom Rides the Sundown Train." Tony DeZuniga's cover work crackles with kinetic energy, the muzzle flashes and desperate odds making it clear that DC's scarred bounty hunter is once again outnumbered but far from outmatched. For fans of gritty Western storytelling, this 1981 issue with a story by Michael Fleisher and interior art by Dick Ayers is a fine example of the series firing on all cylinders.
