Just bought this Jonah Hex cover by Ross Andru - it's a Bronze Age cover from June 1983 and one of the funniest Hex covers IMHO, well if you're into this sort of humor :-)

If this cover was given a title I think it should be:

 

"A perfect farewell to an enemy" lol

 

After checking out all Jonah Hex covers #73 was one of my favorites. See all the published Jonah Hex covers here:

- I really love the Hex covers, and the #73 cover perfectly depicts the emotion "distress" :grin:

 

BTW did you know that Hex has defeated both Batman and Superman? :o

 

 

 

"In Superman/Batman #16, when Batman & Superman have ended up being catapulted through various earths after a conflict with Darkseid, they ended up meeting Hex and other Western superheroes. While Superman was attending to Batman's wounds, Jonah ambushed him and manages to kill Superman using Kryptonite bullets, and blowing his brains out. Although Superman wasn't really killed, it was heavily implied because in that story arc, the only way for Superman and Batman to be transported to another dimension is for them to be killed.

 

Jonah Hex has, in many timelines, met and fought Batman. In Superman/Batman #16, Hex overpowered Batman in hand-to-hand combat (albeit Batman had been heavily wounded). In Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, Hex and Batman face off in a showdown. Even though being skilled in throwing batarangs and disarming gunmen, Batman was still outdrawn by Hex, and Hex shoots him in the stomach."

Thanks! I think it was a cool choice for Marvel to keep Zeck as the artist for the Cap cast of characters for continuity.

The original OHOTMU was mostly this way, characters were drawn by their current or signature creators. That made it special; this was dropped for later editions.
