- In the first story, in the original Durango tale, the action happened in thee town of Red Gulch, but in the Black Rider adaptation, the name of the town was left unnamed. Muley Pike, the sidekick of Durango, was named "Léo" in the adaptation.
- All the references to "Durango Kid" were replaced by "Cavaleiro Negro"/Black Rider in the adptation except by a mistake in the last pannel in pg 86 (No desfiladeiro fatal) , when Léo called the masked hero "Durango".It would mean a nickname that Léo gave the Black Rider or a mistake of his part with an old acquaintance.
