Tomahawk #43

From DC's September 1956 frontier adventure series, Tomahawk #43 puts the buckskin-clad hero in immediate peril — balanced on a log bridge over a rocky chasm while carrying a companion on his back, rifle in hand, with arrows flying and warriors closing in on horseback behind him. Fred Ray's cover art captures that desperate, pulse-quickening moment perfectly, with the speech bubble warning that the enemy has now shifted their aim to his legs. This issue also teases a "Giant $5000 Prize Contest," making it a memorable entry in DC's rugged western lineup featuring the story "Tomahawk's Little Brother.
