Johnny Thunder Reprints

Did you know the classic Western version of Johnny Thunder (with secret identity of John Tane) had his own title in the 1970s?

True, it only featured reprints of his stories (as well as some from Nighthawk/Hannibal Hawkes, the Trigger Twins/Walt and Wayne Trigger) with cover art by Alex Toth....but they did exist!
