Neal Adams' Tomahawk


From 1968 to 1970, Neal Adams did a dramatic series of covers for the DC comic Tomahawk. Many of them feature the title hero tied up in some creative way. Several of the earlier issues (#116 - 118) have a limited palette, likely making them really stand out on the newsstand.


Tomahawk #116, June 1968.


Tomahawk #117, August 1968.


Tomahawk #118, October 1968.


Tomahawk #119, December 1968.


Tomahawk #121, April 1969.


Tomahawk #123, August 1969.


Tomahawk #124, October 1969.


Tomahawk #125, December 1969.


Tomahawk #126, February 1970.


Tomahawk #127, April 1970.


Tomahawk #128, June 1970.


Tomahawk #130, October 1970.

Was the cover for 126 pencilled or at least laid out by Kubert? The main figure and the proportions of the background figures seem very Kubert-esque.

I thought the same thing myself as soon as I enlarged it. Thanks for this great gallery. I love looking at Neal Adams' non-super hero covers. These are fantastic.

Ditto! I thought the same before I even saw the comments.
