Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #5

Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #5 The B-Bar-B Riders pursue a gang of criminals known as the Phantoms who have stolen a car and robbed a federal bank, leaving no footprints at the crime scene. After newspapers report the Phantoms' mysterious disappearances, Foreman Tex learns from Washington that the criminals have struck again. The story shifts to a bizarre subplot involving giant ants under a curse that grant their captors power, leading to an absurd battle sequence where the Riders must combat these enlarged insects and rescue their companions from the ant colony's grip. In the final sections, the narrative devolves into comedic Western action featuring lasso work, horseback pursuits, and physical comedy as the characters deal with spirited horses and various misadventures on the range.
