The Kents #7

Part seven of DC's twelve-part "saga of Truth, Justice & the American West" arrives in February 1998 with the tension of sibling conflict etched into every detail. Tim Truman's cover arranges the story's stakes like a frontier tableau: a determined horseman charges forward with pistol drawn against a blazing sunset, while two framed portraits of bearded men — brothers, the title implies — flank the central action, and a rifle and animal skull crowd the foreground with grim frontier atmosphere. Ostrander, Truman, and Bair are deep into the heart of this sprawling Western saga, and "Brother Versus Brother" promises the kind of dusty, morally weighty drama that makes The Kents such a compelling corner of DC's 1998 lineup.
