Weird Western Tales #12 - Neal Adams / Bernie Wrightson art, Joe Kubert cover + 1st issue

Joe Kubert

Weird Western Tales v1 #12 featuring El Diablo & Jonah Hex, 1972 - After appearing in the final two issues of All-Star Western, Jonah Hex continues as a co-feature in this lengthy bronze age run. El Diablo, a supernatural western hero, also makes the transition with the help of Neal Adams and Bernie Wrightson. Their collaborations are rare and the results are often varied. In this case, their respective styles tend to clash, each trying to gain dominance over the other. The final story art is rough and uncharacteristically muddy. Joe Kubert's cover on this first issue as also far from his best, but do I like the subtle suggestion of a skull framed around El Diablo. This issue also includes artwork by Tony DeZuniga, Nick Cardy and Carmine Infantino.
