Aventuras de Jim Texas 6: La Carrera de la Muerte is a Spanish-language serial Western published by Gráficas Bruguera (Barcelona). The installment opens with fugitives Zenker and Vera evading pursuit by Jim Texas and the sheriff near Ukiah, California. Using a strategic escape—abandoning their carriage and riding horses through rough terrain—they elude their pursuers and eventually reach Reno, Nevada. In Reno, Zenker encounters someone who suggests a plan to him. When Vera asks about his schemes, Zenker reveals his changed circumstances: he now holds power over her. He proposes marriage as payment for helping save her father (whom Jim Texas holds) and destroying Texas himself. Vera, desperate and resolved solely on revenge against Texas and his lover Stella, accepts this humiliating bargain despite her anguish. She agrees to marry Zenker under partial aliases, planning his eventual death once she no longer needs him. The second chapter shifts to Jim Texas celebrating his return to his ranch with festivities lasting three days, attended by Stella as an honored guest among his workers.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
