All Western Winners #4

A vivid, action-packed brawl dominates Syd Shores's cover for this 1949 Marvel western, as a masked hero — the Black Rider — finds himself surrounded by a gang of rough outlaws, one of whom is straining to rip off his disguise while another struggles to contain his rearing horse. Speech bubbles crackle with frontier menace, teasing the "Black Rider — Unmasked!" story promised inside. For fans of golden-age western adventure, this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of high-stakes, fist-flying drama that made the genre so irresistible.
