Jonah Hex #11
In "Un six-coups de bois," Jonah Hex finds himself caught in a deadly game of deception when the Drygulch Gang targets schoolteacher John Tane—posing as the legendary Johnny Thunder. With Tane tied to a slingshot-tree and a single shot away from a fatal launch, the real Johnny Thunder must rise from the river and reclaim his name. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Mort Drucker with inks by Sy Barry, this 1987 tale delivers a pulse-pounding twist where wits and firepower collide. The cover, by Luis Dominguez, captures the moment of tension with sharp, striking detail.

The Drygulch Gang sends a bogus Johnny Thunder to kidnap schoolteacher John Tane (Johnny's secret identity). Tane is tied to a slingshot-tree: if the rope is shot through, he'll be catapulted to death! Why him? He's bait to lure out Johnny Thunder! Tane tilts his eyeglasses to burn through the rope, is flung into a river, and comes out with guns blazing as - Johnny Thunder! The gang surrenders. "No one kin ever trap Johnny Thunder - no matter what scheme some smart aleck thinks up!"
