Black Knight #3

From Atlas Comics' Arthurian adventure series comes this September 1955 issue featuring a cover by Joe Maneely that practically thunders off the page — the armored Black Knight charges forward on his black stallion, sword raised and red cape billowing, while a fallen knight scrambles in the dust to his left and a riderless horse flees to the right. The bold challenge "Yield or fight, Sir Modred!" sets the stage for "The Black Knight Unmasked!", promising the kind of chivalric tension that made this series such a lively corner of mid-1950s comics. Maneely's dynamic linework captures the pageantry and danger of King Arthur's world with real confidence and flair.
