Black Diamond #1 (of 6)

Larry Young, Jon Proctor

Fifty years from now, an elevated highway spans the nation. Initially a
response to international terrorism, the US government grounds commercial
airline flights and builds THE BLACK DIAMOND, a dangerous road full of
gearheads and misfits, drug runners and grey-market tech heads, all
driving illegal 1970s muscle cars in a nomadic, breakneck existence. But
when the government decides to clean up THE BLACK DIAMOND heading east and
when his wife is kidnapped to be used as a hostage by forces loyal to the
road, Dr. Don McLaughlin, DDS, has to borrow his brother-in-law's illegal
1973 Mercury Cougar to get on the highway and rescue his wife... 150 feet
above and 100 miles an hour faster than anything he's ever known.

Black Diamond #2 (of 6)

Larry Young, Jon Proctor

Kate Maddox has a problem: she's been kidnapped by a couple of guys and
held against her will in a seedy apartment. That's not the problem,
though; her kidnappers just aren't that bright, and when you've been
shanghai'ed, the least you could expect is some snappy conversation. The
Big-Man Conversation, though, is being had by Army General Cooper and oil
baron Dixie Johnson about the state of the world, while Doctor Don is
headed Kate's way on the elevated highway of the future, as he picks up an
unwitting passenger...

Crazy bikers, angry boyfriend, stolen bag of treasure! Damsel in distress!
Meanwhile, soldiers versus gearheads! To the death!

Black Diamond #4 (of 6)

Larry Young, Jon Proctor

"Everybody thinks I'm some kinda bad guy or something. The one thing I
sure did learn early on is that your naysayers will put it out there that
most reliable businessmen are all scum and can't be trusted. How do you
fight that one in public? Ya just can't. Them that want to see it like
that will think we're all just greedy bastards and troddin' on the little
guy and all anyway. So, yeah, I'm a polarizin' force down here and up
there and every which way. No one wants to hear about my government
contacts or my blind luck and unwaverin' payin' attention and the hard
work it took to get that first fillin' station to carry the knick-knacks
and leverage that into a coupla more fill-ups in the state and then
leverage that and that and that until I had a country-wide control of the
juice."

Black Diamond #5 (of 6)

Larry Young, Jon Proctor

I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but the waitress' crazy ex-boss/boyfriend and his small army of ten thousand bikers are right behind the orthodontist and they can’t go anywhere because he accidentally destroyed his car by lassoing it to a bullet train and flying it into a restaurant. Which they were lucky to avoid themselves. Flying into the restaurant. No wheels, no wife, no prospects. And no idea what to do. Time to hit the road, any way they can.

Black Diamond #6 (of 6)

Larry Young, Jon Proctor

This is where it all ends! The U.S. friggin Army faces off against the assembled might of the whole Black Diamond populace, with Kate and her kidnappers on one side of an angry general and Dr. McLaughlin and Cammie on the other with some plenty p.o.'d bikers. They'll figure it out, or they won't, but our story's over. Sometimes society clashes and individuals get to just go home.
