Outlaws of the West No. 16 Cover by Mastroserio & Masulli
While the signatures read (Rocco) Mastroserio and (Pat) Masulli, the information I have is that Masulli pencilled this and Mastroserio inked it. That seems to agree with my knowledge of Mastroserio’s inking style.
It’s a nice example of old west comic book art from the 1950s.
Colour and updated trade dress by me.
