Masked Raider

In the late 1950s, Charlton Comics revived the Western genre with Masked Raider, a 17-issue series running from 1958 to 1961. The title was most frequently written and illustrated by Pete Morisi, often in collaboration with Joe Gill and artist Charles Nicholas, delivering clean, action-packed tales of frontier justice. The series followed the adventures of the mysterious Masked Raider and his allies Les Wilcox, Talon, Rocky Lane, and Black Jack, offering straightforward, morally clear Western storytelling. It stands as a solid, workmanlike example of Charlton's cost-effective approach to genre comics during the Silver Age.
