The Fastest Gun Western #31

Don Diablo rules Vulture Valley with a iron fist, forcing its people to toil in his sulphur mine while claiming the vultures he's trained are his only allies.

As the dust settles and Diablo flees with his winged companions, Bonney knows the birds won’t wait long—nor will justice.
