Thunderbolt #59

Charlton's Peter Cannon — Thunderbolt squares off against dangerous odds in this September 1967 issue, and the cover by Pete Morisi captures the tension perfectly: the blue-suited, masked hero lunges forward mid-brawl, wrestling for control of a rifle while adversaries close in around him. A row of Thunderbolt portrait heads crowns the masthead, reinforcing that this is very much his series — the one the cover copy proudly calls "the action-hero you've chosen for greatness." With the story "Assassins..!" on the docket and Pat Boyette handling the full interior creative duties, this is a tightly crafted single-creator effort that delivers exactly the T-Bolt brand of reading excitement it promises.
