Jonah Hex #71

DC's long-running Western series delivers a visceral image in this April 1983 installment — the scarred bounty hunter Jonah Hex, gritting his teeth beneath his battered hat, blazing away with both pistols as debris and chaos explode around him in every direction. The dynamic cover, penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Dick Giordano, perfectly captures the relentless, rough-edged energy that defines Hex's world, with muzzle flares radiating outward like a gunfighter's last stand frozen in time. With Michael Fleisher scripting and Dick Ayers on interior art, "The Masquerade!" promises the gritty frontier storytelling that made this series a standout among 1983 DC titles.
