The Unmasking of Black Diamond
9 pp · western-frontier
Black Diamond

Bob Vale, the masked marshal known as the Black Diamond, must go undercover and shed his anonymity to infiltrate Ralph Cobb's traveling rodeo—a ruthless operation moving toward his territory. Cobb has murdered at least nine men using a clever scheme to sabotage their guns, and Vale's superiors need proof to stop him before he strikes in Copper City. Written by [creator not specified] and illustrated by [artist not specified], "The Unmasking of Black Diamond" pits a lawman against his greatest disadvantage: his own exposed face.

Trap of Evil
9 pp

Red Fire discovers a calf trapped in an illegal bear trap on the McCurdy ranch and attempts a rescue—only to spring the device himself and fall into the hands of Jim Cartwheels and his son Hiram, who believe they've caught the thief plaguing their property. Beaten and left for dead by the vengeful trappers, Red Fire must clear his name and expose the truth about who's really behind the scheme. This gripping tale from Black Diamond Western proves that sometimes the most dangerous prey walks on two legs, not four.

Introducing Buck Roper
7 pp

An Easterner fresh off the New York social circuit walks into rodeo impresario Mr. Hill's office demanding a chance to ride, and though he's green as they come, his genuine spirit earns him a shot at serious training. Over three weeks, Buckley transforms from movie-bit-part actor into a legitimate bronc rider, roper, and trick rider—all to impress a girl who thinks real cowboys are the only men worth knowing. As the Hill Rodeo's final night approaches and Buckley prepares for his moment in the spotlight, forces beyond the arena threaten to derail everything he's worked for.
