Red Mask #48

Red Mask is in full action on this 1955 Magazine Enterprises cover by Frank Bolle, shown in his signature red outfit and mask disarming two bandana-masked outlaws in a rocky setting — one foe is going down while the other's pistol flies from his hand. The bold, eye-catching logo and the masked hero's portrait inset at the top give this ten-cent issue a real sense of frontier style and confidence. With a story titled "Three Famous Badmen" and the Comics Code seal of approval, it's a solid piece of mid-1950s Western adventure.
