Scrooge Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Love that period in the Lone Ranger. Your bumping this thread spared me from having to find it! It came from the boxes and I read this Black Diamond Western tonight. 3 Black Diamond stories, 3 artists and the same insane writer(s) at Lev Gleason who overwhelm the page with dialog. Despite that, some enjoyable reading as most Gleason titles tend to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The night before, it's was this Gene Autry # 18 with a Jesse Marsh Autry lead in story - I was always kinda' partial to Roy Rogers actually. I really liked those sequined shirts....oh wait, they are both wearing fancy shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe an Atlas then. Lotsa Maneely inside. Also, notice that he started to use frames within the cover early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nice - Black Rider is my fave Atlas western hero, and this origin ish tells who, where, and how he came to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclemet Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Growing up on a cattle ranch, I'm always tempted to get into GA westerns, but knowing they have such a small collector audience makes me leery (I'm always conscious of my collections liquidity). Is that a fair assessment of the collector environment for Westerns, or am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, G.A.tor has called it: Westerns are dead. I would trust Rick's assessment. Maybe we can close that book if Mr.Bedrock confirms it but ... yeah ... from all indications I've heard, the liquidity would not be there. Here's Rex Allen Four Color # 316 a.k.a. Rex Allen # 1. It's also an entire Jesse March book with one 32-pager and another 16-pager. Steppenwolfscomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
