Tomahawk #10

From 1952, this DC frontier adventure puts the danger front and center: two frontiersmen's rifles are literally exploding in their hands mid-battle, while a mounted warrior in a feathered headdress charges on horseback behind them — and the speech bubble says it all: "Our guns are exploding when we fire them!" Bob Brown's cover work captures the chaos and suspense of "Frontier Sabotage!" with real energy, making it immediately clear why someone is tampering with the weapons of America's favorite frontier hero. A vivid snapshot of early-'50s Western comics storytelling at its most gripping.
