Jonah Hex #72

Jonah Hex's scarred face looms large on this 1983 DC issue as the grizzled bounty hunter clutches a red-haired woman against a rocky backdrop crawling with tarantulas — the cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano making every creeping spider feel genuinely unsettling. The story title "Tarantula!" promises that the eight-legged menace isn't just decorative, and the tension etched across both figures suggests the danger is very, very close. Michael Fleisher scripts with Dick Ayers on interior art, keeping this one of DC's most reliably gritty Western reads of the era.
