Black Diamond pursues the outlaw Squinch through the Western landscape, but Squinch manages to escape by using a rope to pull Black Diamond off a cliff, resulting in an ironic death when the weight of gold he had stolen pulls him off the cliff edge and kills him. In a separate storyline, renegades follow Black Diamond's orders to intercept gold wagons, but Black Diamond outwits them and rescues the gold, while a character named Lefty reports back to Santa Fe Sam that the operation failed and Black Diamond's men were killed.

Black Diamond

When a prospector strikes gold in the small town of Dusty Gap, his sudden fortune attracts the wrong kind of attention—leading to his murder and a mysterious map that puts Black Diamond in the crosshairs of a vengeful mob. Forced to protect the suspected killer from frontier justice, the masked hero must uncover the real culprit before an angry lynch mob carries out its sentence.

Mystery of the Murder Mine
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When a series of brutal gold shipment robberies plague the town of Fillmore, Marshal Black Diamond and his partner Bumper suspect a suspicious mine owner named Jethro Squinch—but the operation appears legitimate on the surface. As Black Diamond digs deeper, he uncovers armed guards, destroyed assay records, and a shocking secret hidden in the mine itself that could expose Squinch's criminal empire. Now trapped and at Squinch's mercy, Black Diamond must rely on his wits and an unlikely ally to survive and bring the truth to light.
