Black Rider

The Black Rider rode into Marvel’s pre-hero Western line in 1957 with a single, striking issue. This short-lived series, drawn by the legendary Jack Kirby, cast its masked, frontier avenger in a classic gunslinger mold, blending action and mystery with the artist’s signature dynamic energy. Though it lasted only one issue, it remains a notable footnote in Marvel’s early Western catalog, showcasing Kirby’s work before the company’s superhero renaissance.
