The Hooded Horseman

The Hooded Horseman, a 7-issue Western series from American Comics Group that ran from 1952 to 1954, follows the adventures of a masked vigilante riding the frontier. Writer Richard Hughes, along with artists Leonard Starr, Ed Moritz, and Rocke Mastroserio, brought this short-lived but distinctive title to life during the peak of the Western comic boom. While it never reached the heights of the genre's biggest names, the series stands as a tight, energetic example of mid-century pulp storytelling, showcasing the era's skill for crafting quick, satisfying tales of justice on the range.
