☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Boot Hill," Joe takes a bold gamble with Sultan Malevo and wins the ring that symbolizes the sultanship of Larijuna, setting off a journey across India to claim his new throne. Written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Leonard Starr, this 1952 adventure blends frontier grit with exotic intrigue, with Starr also handling the cover art.
In the heart of the jungle frontier, Cowboy Sahib—fresh from a high-stakes gamble with Sultan Malevo—earns the sacred ring that marks him as ruler of the hidden kingdom of Larijuna. Now, with Almita at his side and the un-named Army Major watching from the shadows, he must navigate the treacherous politics of a land where every step could be his last.
Boot Hill Cemetery in Dodge City earned its notorious name from the gunmen buried within its grounds—nearly all of whom died with their boots on during the lawless 1870s and beyond. This non-fiction account traces the graveyard's rise as a final resting place for some of the West's most infamous killers and outlaws, capturing the violent era when honest citizens lived in constant fear and the marshal's work never ceased. Though Boot Hill has since given way to a city hall, the epitaphs and legends of those buried there remain preserved in history.
