The Kents #12

The twelve-part saga of truth, justice, and the American West reaches its conclusion with this striking finale by Ostrander and Mandrake. Mandrake's cover frames two weathered faces — a dark-haired figure above and a fair-haired, bearded one below — separated by a ghostly skull motif, while two lone gunfighters face off in silhouette at the bottom, pistols drawn against a blood-red sky. It's a beautifully composed send-off for a series that traced Superman's Kansas ancestors through the hardships and moral weight of the frontier West.
