That's too cool!! I can't believe I've never seen it before, and can't believe it's by Frazetta!

If only we had a run of Frazetta horror covers! What a missed opportunity. I think the only reason this one was done was more as a favor to Sid Check who Frazetta was mentoring at the time.

I've read an interview where Frazetta said he wasn't really into the "horror vibe".

Yeah, i think that is more western than horror by a good stretch. AWESOME cover though!

Yep, as much as I love that Ghost Rider cover it's still just a western hero disguised as a ghost to frighten the "bad guys". Not a true horror genre book.

great book! DC mystery may be tame, but it's really well done. The covers alone in that series are all worth having, and some of the stories are fun too. And you get Tomahawk appearances!
