Black Rider #17

Joe Maneely's cover for this November 1951 Atlas Western crackles with kinetic energy — the black-clad Black Rider charges his white horse straight toward the rocky edge of a cliff while outlaws close in from every direction, guns blazing, as a desperate ally shouts a warning below. The cover blurb says it all: "with blazing six-guns and thundering hoofs, the Black Rider battles the West's worst killers!" Inside, Robert Bernstein scripts "Black Rider's Vengeance!" with interior art by Al Eadeh, making this a satisfying package of frontier action from one of Atlas's most spirited Western titles.
