Black Diamond Western #36

From Lev Gleason Publications, this July 1952 issue of Black Diamond Western delivers the dusty, hard-knuckled frontier action the series was known for. Dick Rockwell's cover art captures a blazing confrontation mid-gallop — a red-shirted outlaw gets yanked clean off his rearing horse while a mounted hero in a purple shirt and red hat delivers the warning, "You've reached the end of your rope — I'll see that the sheriff uses it to hang you with!" — as a third figure is dragged helplessly along the ground below the churning hooves. Inside, Al Luster and Bob Fujitani bring you three feature-length Black Diamond stories, including "The Dusty Gap Incident," making this a satisfyingly full read for any fan of classic Western comics.
