The Hooded Horseman #24
In "Bobby Curtis," the town’s sheriff lies wounded, leaving the posse leaderless after Shifty Smith’s escape, and a $2,000 reward hangs in the balance. Lobo, driven by the bounty, rides into the unknown, chasing both justice and fortune. Written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Leonard Starr, this 1952 Western thriller captures the grit and tension of a lawless frontier, with Starr’s inks lending sharp detail to every shadowed trail. The cover by Leonard Starr sets the mood with a stark, brooding image of the lone rider under a storm-laden sky.
