Tomahawk #39

The cover of Tomahawk #39 (March 1956) plunges readers straight into frontier chaos — Tomahawk and his companions take cover behind the collapsed timbers of a broken bridge, rifles blazing against a warband closing in from the hillside, while arrows stab into the wreckage all around them. Bob Brown's pencils and Ray Burnley's inks deliver a scene crackling with urgency, the speech balloon promising that an avalanche, a broken bridge, and now an ambush all add up to one very unlucky "Jinx Trail." Beyond the lead story, this issue also offers "Trial of Trader Seth!" and "The Redcoat Trickster!" — three all-new tales of colonial-era adventure for a dime.
