Der schwarze Reiter

In the mid-1950s, the German publisher Lehning released Der schwarze Reiter, a 20-issue comic series that follows a mysterious, black-clad rider through adventures in a Western setting. This series stands as a notable example of the post-war European comic market, reflecting the era's fascination with frontier tales and masked heroes. While specific creators are not widely documented, the series is remembered for its dramatic, pulp-inspired storytelling and its place in the landscape of early German-language comics.
