Tomahawk #16

From DC's frontier adventure series, this March–April 1953 issue features "America's Favorite Frontier Hero" in a story billed as "The Riddle of Fort Mystery." The cover — penciled and inked by Fred Ray and Bob Brown — plunges you right into the action: Tomahawk, clad in buckskins and gripping a musket, battles multiple adversaries among jagged rock formations while a companion struggles behind him, swords and weapons flashing in every direction. At just a dime, it's a vivid snapshot of the rugged, hard-hitting frontier adventure DC was delivering to readers in 1953.
