Black Diamond Western #49
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology featuring three full-length western stories: "Black Diamond," in which the masked hero confronts a villain named Varick who threatens to murder an innocent woman named Richard Cramm if he doesn't comply within one minute; "Buck Roper"; and "Red Fire," which depicts a man giving orders to rustlers to drive stampeded cattle and later addressing ranchers at a meeting about buying their cattle, while another character prepares for a nighttime confrontation.
When violence erupts on the docks of Jamesville Landing, the Black Diamond pursues a fugitive onto the riverboat Missouri Queen—only to discover that his quarry, Richard Cramm, has shed the very disguise that would identify him. Now, with Judge Varick's hired killers scouring the steamboat and unable to recognize their target, the frontier troubleshooter must uncover Cramm's new identity before the hunters close in for the kill. "The Mask of Terror" is a tense game of cat-and-mouse where looks can be deceiving and survival depends on staying one step ahead.
An Easterner determined to prove himself as a rodeo rider, Buck Roper finds himself at the center of a deadly sabotage plot when a rival rodeo owner targets the Hill Rodeo train for destruction at Deadman's Chasm. With the lives of the entire troupe hanging in the balance, Buck must uncover the conspiracy and race against time to prevent catastrophe. Written by the Black Diamond Western team and illustrated for the 1954 pulp audience, "Danger at Deadman's Chasm" delivers high-stakes Western action as our hero fights to save the show and expose the villains behind the scheme.
When stampedes plague Laurel Valley's shared grazing lands, Red Fire suspects foul play—and someone's determined to keep him from learning why. As ranchers lose their herds and sell out cheaply, Red Fire and his dog Devil race to uncover the truth before another deliberate stampede claims them both.
