Red Mask #49

When a railroad heist goes wrong, a ruthless outlaw gang captures the Black Phantom and uses her as bait to force Red Mask into a deadly trap in the Red Hills—but the lawman has plans of his own. Trapped and spreadeagled before a blindfolded Black Phantom forced to shoot an outline around him, Red Mask and his allies must work together to turn the tables on the vicious gang holding them hostage. With help from an unexpected quarter, this mountain standoff becomes far more than the outlaws bargained for.

A lady bullfighter in the Mexican town of Sonora finds herself in mortal danger when someone tries to murder her in the bullring—and only Redmask knows why. Her outlaw brother left behind a cryptic treasure map hidden in plain sight, and now killers are closing in to claim a fortune worth ten million dollars. Redmask must protect Carlotta Mendoza and uncover the truth before her enemies strike again.

When screams pierce the Western night, the Ghost Rider answers—only to find Art Jonas, traffic manager of the Silver Star Freight Company, under attack from what he claims are hostile raiders stripping their wagons. Offering to personally escort the company's vital TNT shipment to the mines, the Ghost Rider must navigate a gauntlet of escalating ambushes—arrows, stampeding horses, and sabotaged bridges—to discover whether his new ally is truly who he claims to be.

In "The Reform of the Black Phantom," the fugitive outlaw Black Phantom returns to confront his past when he intercepts Red Mask in danger from two of her former gang members. Though he once fled from her, he now stands by her side, offering protection—and perhaps a chance at redemption—when she agrees to leave her criminal life behind.
