This issue contains two stories featuring Wild Bill Hickok and his companions. In "Hide-Out Guns," Wild Bill enforces a town ordinance against wearing guns, but discovers that outlaw Ace Fenton has hidden his weapons in his sleeves to cheat during a confrontation, requiring Bill to rely on skill rather than firearms. In "Stolen Range," eleven men challenge Bill Wallace's claim to a rich basin of land; Bill must prove his title in court while navigating the dispute over property rights in the developing West.

When Dade Ellis brings a crew of hired gunmen to Abilene with plans to seize control of the territory, the local ranchers are too frightened to resist—until Wild Bill Hickok and Jingles decide to turn the tables on the would-be tyrant. Bill's strategy is as clever as it is direct: call out Ellis and his hired guns at every opportunity, forcing them to back down or face the fastest man in the West. Watch as Hickok systematically dismantles Ellis's stranglehold on the cow town, one confrontation at a time.

Wild Bill Hickok

Wild Bill Hickok enforces a town ordinance banning firearms, but he suspects that the slick card player Ace Fenton has found a way around the law—hidden weapons concealed on his person. When tensions boil over at the card table and Fenton makes his move, Hickok must rely on his wits and keen eye to stop trouble before it starts.

Unseen Duel
2 pp · Western-Frontier
Wild Bill Hickok

Young Terry Burke sells his small ranch to the ruthless Walt McQuade of the Box M, but McQuade has no intention of letting him leave town alive—forcing Wild Bill Hickok to think fast and orchestrate a clever solution that keeps everyone's hands off their guns. When McQuade's crew corners Burke and demands gunplay, the marshal stages an unconventional duel that gives the young rancher exactly what he needs: a way out.

The Sheriff's Pride
6 pp · Western-Frontier
Annie Oakley

Annie Oakley's Wild West show rolls into town just as young Sheriff John Bailey makes it clear he doesn't want her handling guns in his territory—a stance rooted more in wounded pride than lawman's logic. When Bailey rushes alone after a gang of thieves and walks straight into a deadly ambush, Annie's quick thinking and sharp shooting turn the tables, but the sheriff's bruised ego threatens to derail the real investigation that follows. It takes Annie's cunning—and a perfectly timed performance—to help Bailey see past his hurt feelings and catch the real culprit hiding in plain sight.

Stolen Range
5 pp · Western-Frontier
Wild Bill HickokJingles

Wild Bill Hickok and his partner Jingles investigate a cunning land swindler named Bull Wallace, who's been using forged titles to drive honest ranchers out of a rich basin. When the marshal uncovers Wallace's fraudulent documents, a dangerous confrontation forces him to outwit the criminal at his own game. It's a tense tale of frontier justice where paperwork proves mightier than a quick draw.
