El Diablo

El Diablo is a DC Western hero who debuted in 1970, operating in the gritty frontier world alongside figures like Jonah Hex and Lazarus Lane in titles such as Weird Western Tales — a masked avenger carving justice from the lawless American West.

Riding out of the Silver Age in 1970, El Diablo is one of DC's most intriguing Western-flavored figures — a character who debuted in the pages of Swing with Scooter #29 under the hand of Win Mortimer and went on to carve a distinctive trail through the publisher's catalog across nearly a quarter century. With a home in gritty titles like Weird Western Tales and Jonah Hex, this is a character who keeps genuinely legendary company — sharing pages with Jonah Hex, The Vigilante, Lazarus Lane, and even Green Lantern — which speaks volumes about their versatility across DC's genres. Two key-issue appearances signal that collectors have taken notice, and with 17 catalog appearances spanning from 1970 all the way to Guy Gardner: Warrior in the early '90s, El Diablo is a rewarding discovery for anyone who loves the dusty, atmospheric corners of the DC Universe where Western mythology meets superhero storytelling.
