About the series
In the golden age of Western comics, Lev Gleason Publications staked a claim with Black Diamond Western, a series that galloped through 52 issues from 1949 to 1956. The title was a showcase for the rugged frontier adventures of Bob Vale and the masked, gem-themed hero known as the Black Diamond, brought to life by a reliable stable of creators including Claude Moore, Myron Fass, and William Overgard. This long-running series stands as a solid, workmanlike example of the Western genre's popularity in postwar comics, offering straightforward tales of justice and danger on the range.
