Black Fury #47

Newly elected Comanche chief Fox Deer seeks a vision to guide his people in their struggle against the 7th Cavalry, and in a lightning-storm he witnesses a magnificent black stallion—Black Fury—which he interprets as a divine sign of victory. Determined to capture the wild horse and ride him into battle, Fox Deer pursues the elusive stallion across the frontier with his warriors, only to discover that the horse has something far different in mind than war. This western tale explores whether the symbol Fox Deer seeks will truly lead his people to triumph, or if fate has another path altogether.

When the trap closes, Black Fury must rely on his strength and spirit to save his family from capture and breaking.
