☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"King of the Valley" features Black Fury the stallion leading ranchers to victory against outlaws who have outnumbered them in a fierce battle. After the outlaws flee and the valley creatures depart, peace is restored to Bitter Valley through the courage of a great horse and contented men. In a subsequent scene, old Josh rides Black Fury away to Montana, where the horse has despised to see men who once mistreated him, now rising like a promise to the sky. The issue also includes a subplot involving El Capitan, a character who mistreats a green stallion named Pobrecito and forces him to work, later giving him a mysterious drink while threatening violence if the horse doesn't improve.
When drought scorches Bitter Valley, Black Fury the wild stallion leads his herd to the last patch of green grass—but he's not alone. An albino wolf pack and the outlaw Dandy King, holed up in the rocks with his gunhawks, each claim dominion over the land. As the ranchmen struggle against impossible odds, fate ties these three kings together in a way none of them expected.
When a washed-up drifter named Josh encounters the legendary wild stallion Black Fury—wounded and vulnerable after escaping from bronc hunters—he sees a kindred spirit in the magnificent animal that no one else believes can be tamed. As Josh nurses the injured horse back to health in the hills, the two form an unlikely bond that might just restore what the old man thought he'd lost forever. Together, they ride back into town where Josh's past catches up with him in the most unexpected way.
A trio of hardened outlaws springs an ambush on a lone rider carrying $15,000—what they don't expect is that Cornelius Tait will fight back even when the odds are brutally against him. Outnumbered and outgunned on an empty trail, Tait has to make a desperate choice between losing his wife's half of the money or standing his ground in a gunfight he's not confident he can win. In this frontier tale from Black Fury #28, sometimes principle—and a man's fear of his spouse's anger—can matter more than survival.
A proud mustang called Black Fury falls victim to poisoned water and is captured by Mexican wranglers, forced into the brutal labor of an ore-crushing mine under the cruel hand of El Capitan. When a compassionate prisoner named Manuel nurses the stallion back to health, Black Fury repays the kindness in a way that shakes the foundations of El Capitan's operation. Watch as this story of loyalty and revenge unfolds across six pages of galloping action.
