Black Diamond Western

In the late 1940s, Superior Publishers launched Black Diamond Western, a 13-issue series that rode through 1949 and 1950 with a gritty, straightforward take on the Old West. The book is most associated with writer and artist William Overgard, who worked alongside Charles Biro to deliver stark, action-driven tales of frontier justice. Though brief, the series stands as a solid example of the post-war Western comic boom, defined by its no-frills storytelling and rough-hewn art style.
