YACReader - Tex Taylor V1 #2 (1948).cbz 2019-08-22 14.19.43.png

In the town of Sagebrush, Tex Taylor is shopping at Spruce Outfitting Store when it is suddenly robbed by the the Black Raiders, a local gang that has been robbing area businesses. They get the drop on everyone and Tex is unable to stop them from robbing the store. As the gang retreat, Tex asks the owner about the gang. Suddenly a young girl named Miss Farrel comes in and asks Spruce if there is anything that can be done about the gang as she fears her family's jewellery store might be targeted next as there is a big diamond shipment scheduled. Tex decides to get involved and promises Miss Farrel that he will take down the Black Raiders before they can strike again.

Miss Farrel shows Tex the diamonds that are due to be shipped out to Pecos City and then introduces Tex to her wheelchair bound father. Tex assures them that he will guard the jewellery shop and make sure that if the raiders come out that night that he will try and stop them. That nigh the Black Raiders show up in town and attempt to rob the jewellery shop, but find Tex Taylor waiting for them. Although he manages to gun down most of the gang their leader manages to knock him out with a single punch and succeeds in stealing the diamonds.

The sheriff finds Tex later and tells him that the gang has been rounded up but they have no idea who the identity of their leader is. When Tex examines his face in the mirror he finds an "S" shaped mark on his face. Recognizing the mark, Tex realizes who the leader of the gang is. When Miss Farrel and Mr. Spruce enter the store, Tex accuses Spruce of being the leader of the gang and shows that the insignia on his ring matches the mark on his face. Spruce tries to pull a gun but Tex easily knocks him out with a punch and tells Miss Farrel that the stolen diamonds can be found in the safe of his shop. After Spruce has been turned over to the authorities, Tex rides off into the sunset.

When he rides into town he learns from the locals that the bank has been robbed with Lathrop leading the mob, and claims that Jessup was responsible for the robbery. Blaze finds the entire turn of events strange, and notes that Lathrop is working hard to try and discredit him.
