The dauntless Wayne Morgan returns in Airship 27 Production's The Masked Rider (Tales of the Wild West) Vol 3, which spotlights the classic, pulp crusader and his faithful, Yaqui companion, Blue Hawk through victory and peril, embellished by Jason Wren's masterful interiors and Shane Evan's valorous cover.
For this edition, readers are treated to Paul Findley's sprawling "Green Valley: Red Death", where the Masked Rider battles a murderous gang of rustlers, who frame Indians for their deeds. In addition, Gordon Dymowski gives us his powerful novella, "A Town Called Malice", in which the Mask Rider investigates a Calvary officer's death, buffered by some vexing identity theft.
As a tasty bonus to this volume's Masked Rider entries, there's Thomas McNulty's dandy, Wyatt Earp/Doc Holliday, horse-stealin' submission, "Kings of the Sage". This hard-hitting yarn is flavored with ample Kurt Russell/Val Kilmer seasoning, which will no doubt please all Tombstone fans.
Some say that the Masked Rider is merely a knockoff of the Lone Ranger. Perhaps they're right, but Morgan's adventures are thrilling all the same, with an ethical edge that can't be beat, as Airship's latest volume proves in spades.
