Secret Origins #21

This 1987 DC anthology issue spotlights two very different heroes sharing one striking cover by José Luis García-López: a scarred, grizzled Jonah Hex looms large in the background, hat pulled low and pistol in hand against a desert sky, while the blue-caped Black Condor soars dynamically in the foreground, birds wheeling around him. Inside, Fleisher and Morrow tell Jonah Hex's story in "Requiem for a Gunfighter," promising the kind of gritty Western storytelling the character demands. It's a satisfying double-feature package for fans of both frontier grit and superhero adventure.
