I don't have any of these either but I like the covers, expecially 53. You don't see a lot of those toy train western covers. Two of these sold recently on ebay.

One of the best things about Black Diamond was Bing Bang Buster by Wolverton. Mad went a little further with its parody of the Lone Ranger but he was wearing the red shirt with blue jeans.

Painted Western covers were very unusual for Charlton and that's a particularly good one! :applause:

A couple Syd Shores covers.

The Black Rider has 3 Shores and one Tuska story.

Who doesn't love saloon brawl & gunfight covers?

 

"The Fighting Cowboy" - weren't they all?

Gene would consider them fighting singing words.

:applause: I thought you already had this run complete with duplicates? Or am I confusing you with another boardie :shrug:

 

Here's a run that will attract rolling tumbleweeds ... Gene Autry as drawn by Jesse Marsh WITH photo covers by Dell. Wow, nothing but win! Marsh quit the series circa issue 23 IIRC. I still miss quite a few issues -

Last one I have in that set. Always looking to fill holes ... but never can remember which ones I have or don't ... simply 'cuz there are no issue #s on the cover. Sad, really ...

Let's clean your palates with another run, this time Prize Comics Western. All issues have art by Severin and then Severin & Elder's American Eagle takes over the cover spot until the end of the run. Marvin Stein takes over cover duties towards the end of the run and there might be a Gil Kane cover or two as well.

 

I am missing a few issues here and there early in the run but I am complete once American Eagle shows up
