Lucky Star #6

When prospectors Poncho and Vamos strike what looks like gold at the long-abandoned Nightmare Gold Mine, their hopes are cut short by bandits who seize the claim and force them to dig deeper—then seal their fate when a dynamite blast traps them beneath rising floodwater. Lucky Star races to the rescue with only an unconventional mining machine and quick thinking to save his friends from a watery grave. Frank Carin illustrates this high-stakes race against time in the Nightmare Mountains, where ingenuity proves mightier than malice.

Lucky Star scouts a covered wagon train crossing the treacherous South Platte Ford, where the Snake tribe offers to help guide the wagons and horses across the river—but their seemingly generous assistance masks a darker scheme orchestrated by Chief Black Cloud. When the true nature of their plan becomes clear, Lucky Star and his companions must race against time to outsmart the would-be thieves and recover what's been stolen. Frank Carin's pencils and inks bring this Old West river crossing to life with all the adventure and deception that frontier travel could hold.
