  • Issue #2
    Red Mask of the Rio Grande (1990) 2

    Cover by Frank Bolle and Bill Black. Edited by Bill Black. Stories by Bill Black and Gardner Fox. Art by Frank Bolle and Bob Powell. AC Comics reprints classic Western stories that originally appeared in Magazine Enterprises in the 1950s. Western hero (and RKO film star) Tim Holt rides the range – but in the comics, he also fights injustice as the mysterious Red Mask. This issue reprints a short-lived attempt by ME to duplicate the 3-D effect popular in movies of the time by implementing extreme perspective, and drawing figures and elements breaking panel borders. All the stories in this issue use the forgotten technique, including a Red Hawk story drawn by Bob Powell. The Purple Glove Gang; Death at Split Mesa; The Outlaw Bronc; The Man Who Rode the Moonlight. 24 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.75.
