☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Death of Black Diamond! Part One," a traveling circus rolls into Thunder Basin, drawing crowds with a bold challenge: Fireball, the owner’s prized racehorse, will race any opponent, with $500 on the line for the victor. Written, drawn, and inked by William Overgard, this gripping Western tale kicks off a high-stakes showdown with the legendary Black Diamond at the center of the storm. The cover, by Charles Biro, captures the tension in a striking, dynamic scene.
In Thunder Basin, the Black Diamond and his companion Bumper encounter a circus strongman named Sterno and are challenged to a high-stakes horse race between the Diamond's legendary steed Reliapon and a rival's horse called Fireball. When the Diamond agrees to race for charity—a new church and school for the town—the scheming race promoter and his associate hatch a desperate plan to ensure their horse wins, sabotaging the saddle and eventually releasing a lion onto the track. As Reliapon pulls ahead despite their treachery, the Diamond must navigate the chaos and danger that follows.
When a traveling circus rolls into Thunder Basin, the town buzzes with excitement—especially after the owner puts up a challenge: his racehorse, Fireball, will race any rider who dares, with $500 on the line for the victor. Jo, a quiet rider with a past, watches from the edge of the crowd, drawn in by the promise of speed and stakes.
