Tomahawk #137

Tomahawk #137 was published by DC Comics in 1971, appearing during the twilight years of the long-running series. Originally launched in 1950, the title focused on the adventures of Tom Hawk, a frontier scout during the American Revolutionary War. By the early 1970s, DC was transitioning away from traditional Western themes, which had seen a significant decline in popularity compared to their superhero and horror lines.

The issue serves as a late example of the series' shift toward more grounded, sometimes darker storytelling as it struggled to maintain relevance in a changing market. The art and writing from this period reflected the broader editorial efforts of DC to modernize its classic characters, though the title was ultimately cancelled shortly thereafter in 1972. It remains a notable entry for collectors interested in the final creative directions of DC's Western stable.
