Tomahawk #105

Tomahawk #105 brings a genuinely wild threat to DC's frontier adventure series, as the cover — penciled and inked by Bob Brown — plunges Tomahawk and his Rangers into a cavern dominated by a massive, snarling reptilian creature: the fearsome Gator-God. The cover dialogue crackles with tension as Tomahawk holds a rope that could bring the cave jaw crashing down to seal the beast inside, while his companions scramble and shout their desperate warning that he'll be trapped along with it. It's a striking 1966 image that pairs frontier grit with monster-magazine energy, making this one hard to set back down on the shelf.
