Thunderbolt #53

Peter Cannon—Thunderbolt finds himself in a tight spot on this August 1966 Charlton cover, squaring off against a massive sumo-style opponent while a golden, multi-armed idol looms ominously in the background — all with the tantalizing tagline "Can T-Bolt fight his way out of the Lair of Tong?" Pete Morisi's cover art captures the hero in his red-and-blue costume, mid-battle, with a second downed foe at the foreground suggesting the odds are very much stacked against him. It's a punchy, action-packed visual that sets up the interior's "Enter… The Tong" story with real flair.
