Tex Willer LU #167: Udarac na udarac

In Blow for Blow, the conclusion to The Valley of Hatred, the murder of Peter Langley, Bill Foreman’s ranch foreman, reignites the feud between the Foreman and Montez families. As more of his father’s men are gunned down, Charlie Foreman decides to strike back. He rounds up the ranch hands and prepares to attack the Montez property.

The killings are the work of a skilled marksman who goes by Mr Cox. Each attack pushes the two families closer to a showdown, and Charlie’s thirst for revenge plays into the gunman’s hands. Tex Willer and his three companions have to stop the raid before more people are killed.

Claudio Nizzi makes the investigation a race to the Montez ranch: Tex is still piecing together who is driving the feud and why, while Charlie is already prepared to shoot. Illustrated by Raul and Gianluca Cestaro, the finale asks who stands to gain from keeping the feud alive.
