Black Diamond Western #43

Red Fire rushes to find a skilled doctor who can save Chief Wa-Ti-Ki, his ailing mentor, armed with the tribe's gold and determination—but in the territorial town of Blackville, he encounters the unscrupulous Dr. Zabbo and his ruthless associate, a con artist peddling fake remedies to desperate people. As Red Fire investigates their dangerous scheme, he discovers that behind the promises of cure-all medicine lies something far more sinister than simple fraud.

U.S. Marshal Bob Black Diamond and his sidekick Bumper ride into Colboro in 1881, where they suspect two drifters—Lucius Dunne and Bart Moreno—are running a con on the town's residents. When the criminals seize on a rumor of a gold strike to hatch their scheme, Black Diamond must outthink the schemers before their hoax turns into something far more dangerous.

When Black Diamond rides into the scorching town of Coppertown, Arizona, he uncovers a corruption scheme far worse than the heat—a crooked marshal named Grendell using his badge to rob miners and terrorize citizens. After witnessing the frame-up of an innocent young miner for a murder Grendell himself committed, Black Diamond sets out to prove the truth and dismantle the outlaw marshal's operation. In "Star of Evil," writer and artist prove that a tin star is only as honest as the man who wears it.
