In "The Comanches Strike!", the Black Rider returns to his quiet life as Doc Masters, only to find his peaceful routine upended when he rescues an unconscious woman named Lola from a stagecoach robbery. As he tends to her at his medical office, his girlfriend Marie grows suspicious—especially when Lola’s true intentions begin to surface. With danger closing in and his identity at risk, the Black Rider must reclaim his masked vigilante persona before it’s too late. Syd Shores handles both pencils and inks for the story, while John Severin delivers the striking cover art.
