Billy the Kid Adventure Magazine #11

Billy the Kid stumbles upon a dying man clutching pieces of cursed Spanish gold from a legendary treasure guarded by dark forces, and agrees to deliver a map to Don Ricardo—but before he can hand it over, he's caught in a web of suspicion, betrayal, and a mystery that demands he venture into the very tomb where the treasure lies. With only his wits and a promise to keep, Billy must uncover the truth behind the Treasure of Death before greed and superstition claim another life.

Billy the Kid stumbles into a celebration in Lardo just as a major gold shipment is about to leave by stagecoach—the largest cargo yet on the Wolf City run. When the driver returns drugged and the gold missing, Billy follows the trail of suspicion to the bartender Trip Hardy, leading him deep into Falling Rock Canyon where a deadly trap and a web of betrayal await. Fast-paced frontier justice with rock slides, gunplay, and a mystery that cuts deeper than Billy expected.

Jack Slade came up through the rough-and-tumble frontier from Illinois to Texas, where he clawed his way into a tough reputation as a wagoner and eventually became division agent for the Overland Stage Company. When a rival he'd replaced tried to gun him down, Slade survived and returned the favor with lethal resolve, then brought order to the relay stations where outlaws and horse thieves once ran free. But his hair-trigger violence, wild drinking binges, and occasional cruelty would ultimately prove too much for the company and the territories he operated in, setting him on a collision course he couldn't escape.

Billy the Kid stumbles upon a stagecoach rigged to be destroyed by a deliberate rockslide—and saves the passengers just in time.

As tensions escalate and allegiances shift, Billy must navigate a web of lies and violence to protect those he's sworn to help.
