Tomahawk #6

Promising "Brand-New Adventures of America's Favorite Frontier Hero," this 1951 DC offering packs a dramatic question right onto the cover: what strange events could possibly force Tomahawk to become "King of the Aztec Indians?" Bruno Premiani's cover art sets the scene on the steps of an ancient temple, where a young buckskin-clad figure stands tense and wide-eyed alongside a warrior in elaborate headdress and red cape, while Aztec guards with spear and decorated shield flank them — all beneath the brooding gaze of a massive stone idol. At 52 big pages for a dime, this is frontier adventure with a genuinely intriguing twist that stretches well beyond the usual wilderness territory.
