☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bobby Curtis," the town’s sheriff lies wounded, leaving the posse leaderless after Shifty Smith’s escape, and a $2,000 reward hangs in the balance. Lobo, driven by the bounty, rides into the unknown, chasing both justice and fortune. Written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Leonard Starr, this 1952 Western thriller captures the grit and tension of a lawless frontier, with Starr’s inks lending sharp detail to every shadowed trail. The cover by Leonard Starr sets the mood with a stark, brooding image of the lone rider under a storm-laden sky.
In 1857 Arizona, twelve-year-old Bobby Curtis witnesses outlaw Matt Gowdy gun down his father, Judge Curtis of Mohawk—a killing meant as revenge. When Gowdy flees to his seemingly impregnable hideout in the Mohawk Mountains, the townspeople are too afraid to follow, but Bobby proves brave enough to venture into the outlaws' lair alone. What unfolds when a child confronts the man responsible for his father's death makes for a riveting chapter in frontier justice.
When Rocky Manton and the Cheyenne join forces to steal sacred tribal medicine and frame the Apaches for the theft, Injun Jones uncovers their scheme to drive the tribes to war—and claim their reservation lands for himself. Captured and left for dead at the bubbling geyser, Jones must rally Red Cloud and his outnumbered braves for a desperate stand at Pinto Canyon before Manton's plot destroys them all. A high-stakes battle of wits and gunfire where one man's loyalty to two worlds could spell the difference between survival and massacre.
When sheep first grazed the western ranges in the 1800s, they sparked one of the frontier's fiercest conflicts—cattle ranchers and cowboys drew a "dead line" to keep herders out, and many brave men fell in the ensuing battles over grazing rights and land degradation. This non-fiction account traces how the competing needs of two industries nearly destroyed the Southwest's rangelands, until modern irrigation and science finally brought peace to the bitter range war.
When the sheriff is felled by a bullet and the posse leaderless, Bantam Buckaroo—known as Lobo—steps up to track down outlaw Shifty Smith, now with a $2,000 bounty on his head. With Mike Harvey likely in the mix and the frontier law hanging in the balance, Lobo rides into the unknown, chasing a name and a reward across the dusty plains.
In the lawless days of the Old West, a ruthless band of American outlaws terrorizes the U.S.-Mexico border, preying on stagecoaches, rustling cattle from Mexican ranchers, and terrorizing the region until the victimized ranchers decide to make their stand. When a large force of U.S. Rangers arrives to put an end to the bandits' reign of terror, a final confrontation erupts that will determine the fate of those who prey on the innocent.
