With the closure of Furio, the Lobo Kid story remained unfinished and is now resumed in this second volumes, mainly to "fill" the programming of the Rodeo Series since Gino D'Antonio was not able to produce stories for “Storia del West” every month. G.L. Bonelli evidently now has something else to think about, and the continuation of Lobo Kid is entrusted to the little-known Verozzi who immediately derails the story, distorting it and concluding it hastily. So much so that, after the first volume “Lobo Kid” with a text by Gian Luigi Bonelli (probably the very first pages of the second story are also his, although not credited) which presents the story up to Yagor's redemption, the following volume, “Il giorno of revenge", contains only three quarters of the main character and in the appendix a self-contained western story of foreign origin drawn by Del Castillo (or one of his imitators).

During the American Civil war, a group of bandits disguised as Yankee soldiers launch an attack on the Clayton estate, killing its owners. Only the young Larry survives, thanks to the help of the Comanche Yagor, to whom he had temporarily offered hospitality. After growing up among the Indians, Larry returns to the world of the white man to punish his uncle Fred, who masterminded the bloodbath. The script by G. L. Bonelli is as exciting as ever, and is brilliantly supported by Loredano Ugolini's highly personal style of illustration. The adventure, which remained incomplete in the first publication (as an appendix to the new Furio series), was completed by Verozzi on the occasion of the reprinting story on the Collana Rodeo. The forced happy ending prevented Larry Clayton from becoming (as had been planned) a "desperado" called… Lobo Kid!
