The Bandit of Hell's Bend is a Western fiction novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, published in serial form in the Argosy All-Story Weekly in September and October 1924.
Competing for his daughter Diana, ranch hand Colby sabotages recovering alcoholic foreman Bull, and takes his job.
Rich Easterner Wainwright tries to buy the mine and ranch for a low price, but Henders refuses the offer and discusses the property's true value with Diana.
As pressure from the opposing forces builds, a mob goes to hang Bull for the stage robberies, but Diana warns him in time.
Bull discovers there are papers that will prove Diana's claim to the property, and that Lillian has seduced Colby to obtain his help.
Bull has the Mexican Gregorio deliver the important papers to Diana, showing that Lillian is not related to John and thus not entitled to the property.
Al Martin Napoletano made a comic strip adaptation of The Bandit of Hell's Bend for The Jasoomian.
