Jonah Hex #6

A desperate struggle plays out on this Ernie Chan cover as a blond man scrambles through churning water, reaching for a key just out of his grasp, while a gun-toting villain looms above him on horseback, demanding he forget about it. The rearing, snarling horse and the threat of a drawn pistol give the scene a real sense of danger and urgency that pulls you right in. Michael Fleisher's "The Lawman" promises exactly the kind of gritty Western tension DC's Jonah Hex was delivering so well in 1977.
