Black Rider #13

From March 1951, this Atlas Western delivers a full 52 pages of frontier action starring one of the era's most distinctive masked heroes. The cover by Syd Shores and Al Hartley sets the scene with real energy: the Black Rider, cloaked in black and red atop a rearing white stallion, looms dramatically over a chaotic struggle between cowboys and Native American figures near a teepee, while the cover copy poses the gripping question of how the Black Rider can solve the mystery of the "Terrified Tribe" with Doc Masters held captive by a dangerous outlaw. Ten cents bought a lot of Western thrills in 1951, and this issue looks to deliver every bit of it.
