Black Diamond Western #25

Charles Biro's cover for this June 1951 issue sets an urgent Western scene: a cowboy in a red shirt crouches over a fallen man near a horse at a watering hole, while two Native American warriors — one in a full feathered war bonnet — draw bows and arrows, with a speech bubble warning "Save Arrow! Water Poison!" The cover promises a full 52 pages packed with three feature-length stories, including "The Golden Indians," "Black Diamond Meets Reliapon's Double," and "The Apache Reign of Terror." At a dime a copy, this Lev Gleason publication delivers a solid dose of frontier adventure in fine mid-century Western comics style.
