☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories. The main story, "Billy the Kid Turned Outlaw?", features a masked marshal confronting Billy the Kid, claiming to recognize him beneath the disguise and demanding he surrender his gun. The story then follows Billy as he pursues a band of rustlers led by Seguro, discovering that Seguro has turned traitor and is stealing cattle from Tully Hill. Billy tracks Seguro northward with approximately 400 head of cattle, and the rustlers scatter before Billy can catch them, with Seguro escaping to the south. The second story, "The Marshal and the Prisoner," is a text story detailing U.S. Marshal John Gillins's encounter with a prisoner he is transporting, exploring themes of justice and the prisoner's claims of innocence regarding a murder charge.
When a Mexican revolutionary named Seguro steals 500 head of cattle from Tully Hill's ranch to feed his growing rebel army, Billy the Kid rides south into Chihuahua to track down his old friend and recover the herd. Outnumbered and trapped deep in Seguro's territory, Billy must use his wits and reputation to turn the dictator's own followers against him before the "southwind" brings only death.
A notorious California highwayman, Black Bart, eludes law enforcement across twenty-eight stagecoach robberies while concealing his identity beneath a flour sack—until a Wells-Fargo detective discovers a crucial clue in a discarded handkerchief. As the investigation closes in, this tale of the Old West reveals how even the most cunning criminal eventually slips up.
When three hardened criminals hit the Midas Mining Company office looking for an easy score, they don't realize they've walked straight into Texas Ranger Alex Bray's two-week trap—but escape from prison proves far easier than the outlaw life that follows. Benny Briggs and his gang set their sights on robbing the Warblow Bank, unaware that Ranger Bray knows their every move and has already surrounded the town. A clever lawman and desperate criminals on a collision course make for a tense showdown where old habits die hard.
Crazy Horse, the Oglala Sioux war chief, rose to command the entire Sioux nation alongside Sitting Bull, leading devastating strikes against the U.S. Army's westward campaigns in the mid-1870s. This biography traces his greatest victories—from his rout of General Crook's forces at Dead Canyon to the legendary clash with General Custer at the Little Big Horn—and follows the war chief's final years as the Army closed in on his people.
Billy the Kid takes on the role of marshal in the wild frontier town of Middle Wells, where he discovers that the respected banker Lonndorff is systematically cheating the town's citizens—doctoring accounts, foreclosing on ranches, and working with rustlers and hired guns. When Lonndorff's scheme comes to light and violence erupts, Billy must find a way to bring the corrupt banker to justice and restore peace to the town.
