Trading post

Plot and script: Gianluigi Bonelli
Artwork: Giovanni Ticci/Virgilio Muzzi
Cover Design: Aurelio Galleppini

Left empty-handed, Kento’s raging Cheyennes attack the trading-post run by Harport, an accomplice of Goldfield and his fence for the Indian loot. The pards’ intervention saves the besieged from a brutal end: the survivors of the band of caravan plunderers end up in the cooler and the Quakers reach California unscathed. Some time later, Tex and Carson are sent to the Gila River: the breeder Louis Cardigan is a victim of cattle raiders and his son Randy, supervisor of the ranch, has been seen ganging up with Chris Hogan, a corrupt gambler from Sheldon.

In this number: the previous adventure extends from page 5 to page 49 (artwork by Ticci); from page 50 to page 114, “Gila River" (artwork by Muzzi).
