Black Diamond Western #58

The masked, blond hero of Black Diamond Western stands front and center on this October 1955 cover, rifle in hand, bracing his allies with a warning — "Ready, men… here comes the Scorpion and his outlaw army!" — as a mounted horde charges across the open plains behind him. Myron Fass's cover artwork captures the chaotic energy of the clash beautifully, with outlaws surging forward and a "Charge!" cry cutting through the dust. At a dime a copy, this Lev Gleason title was delivering Western action at its most straightforward and satisfying.
