La fine dei Comancheros

Plot and script: Gianluigi Bonelli
Artwork: Erio Nicolò/ Giovanni Ticci
Cover Design: Aurelio Galleppini

Having defeated the Comancheros and saved two miners from the rebel Indians, Tex and Carson try to persuade Apache Kid to turn away from the path of revenge. All in vain: Kid is killed by the breeders and his body is barbarously mutilated. The following autumn, the pards discover an atrocious criminal project: Nick Billing, a greedy Bureau of Indian Affairs agent from Great Falls, has sentenced the peaceful tribe of Dakotas, guided by Father Fulton, to death from starvation and cold by cutting off their supplies. Their extermination would allow the loathsome individual to gain possession of the gold deposits in the area.

In this number: the previous adventure extends from page 5 to page 41 (artwork by Nicolò); from page 42 to page 114, “Il messaggio dei Dakotas” (“The message of the Dakotas”) (artwork by Ticci).
