Rocky Lane's Black Jack #28

When tensions between white settlers and Cheyenne nation threaten to explode into full-scale war across the Wyoming frontier, Rocky Lane is sent by the Governor to investigate the root cause and prevent bloodshed—but he soon discovers that a duplicitous troublemaker named Chane has been manipulating both sides for his own gain. With the help of his remarkable stallion Black Jack and a young Cheyenne boy whose life the horse has already saved, Lane races to expose the truth before hotheads on either side can plunge the territory into chaos. This 1959 tale of frontier justice tests whether reason and trust can triumph over suspicion and greed.

During a brutal drought, Black Jack the stallion leads two desperate outlaws to the last remaining waterhole in the wild horse country—but when the men try to drive away the mustangs grazing there, the stallion won't stand for their cruelty. As tensions boil over and one of the owlhooters reaches for his gun, Black Jack takes matters into his own hooves in this frontier showdown from Rocky Lane's Black Jack #28.

A careful bank robber holes up in a neighboring town under an assumed identity, converting his stolen seventy thousand dollars into a cattle venture—only to discover that the one piece of evidence he couldn't control, a distinctive horse, has given him away. When the law closes in, Clevis makes a desperate run for the border, convinced that speed and distance are all he needs to escape, but the frontier has a way of evening the odds.
