Masked Raider #2

Charlton's 1955 western adventure series charges ahead with this second issue, featuring the masked, yellow-shirted Raider hauling on a rope while Talon the Golden Eagle — wings spread wide — swoops toward a rough-looking outlaw teetering on a rocky ledge, a dropped knife tumbling away below him. Mike Sekowsky's cover work brings real energy to the confrontation, capturing the Raider and his feathered partner as a genuine frontier team. With the story "For Talon's Nest" promising high-country stakes, this is a lively slice of mid-fifties western comics from a publisher that knew how to deliver action at a dime a copy.
