A lone cowboy and his wolfhound roam the American West, dispensing justice. A vigilante and defender of the weak, Jack Diamond fights all kinds of evildoers. To do so, he relies on his skill with a gun. His wolfhound helps him more often than not.

The JACK DIAMOND series is characterized by the beauty of the graphics, the realism, the precision of the drawing and the concern to research the American West.
