The Black Master

Getting there.  Our hero is starting to look more like the scourge of the criminal landscape that we have come to know and fear.  I love this cover and I love this story.  I read this back in the days of the paperback reissue from Pyramid.  If for some reason this tale has not come to your attention check out this review to get an idea of what this adventure is all about.  Again, early tale with The Master of Men still being molded into the dark avenger who would rule the pulps for nearly two decades.

By the way, here is the Steranko cover from the 70s.
