☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing multiple stories. The lead story features Crack Western, a whip-wielding lawman who battles criminals on the frontier with his deadly lasso as his only weapon, taking on a "lawless empire." The issue also includes two complete Arizona Raines adventures, a Bob Allen Frontier Marshall story, and a Two Gun Lil tale, along with a text story about a confrontation between Jess Raines and Sam Watrous over a dangerous bull named Red Boy that has been hidden away.
When a new railroad threatens to cut off the outlaw trade in Dragoon Basin, Arizona Raines and his partner Spurs find themselves in a desperate race to stop Sheb Wadley's gang from destroying the line entirely—starting with a sabotaged trestle in High-Iron Pass. With the railroad's survival hanging on a single train and resources stretched to the breaking point, Arizona must outmaneuver Wadley's ruthless scheme before the outlaws can collapse the bridge and crush the basin's future.
Frontier Marshal Bob Allen faces a moral crisis when a young man named Dan Layton is arrested for shooting Carter Eddis—a murder that happened during a street confrontation, but not by Dan's hand. With the town's temper running hot and a shady rancher named Dell Flagg orchestrating a swift, prejudicial trial, Allen must work to uncover the real killer before justice becomes a noose around an innocent man's neck.
When Johnny Lash drifts into Maverick Mesa looking for work, he takes a job with Pat Donovan, whose ranch is under siege by the ruthless Ron King—but the drifter harbors a secret identity as the Whip, a masked avenger whose deadly lash strikes fear into crooked hearts. Uncovering King's scheme to frame Donovan's foreman and steal her cattle, the Whip must expose the true conspirators and face down King's gunmen to save the Circle D and restore justice to the mesa. A rousing frontier tale of deception, loyalty, and one man's fight against tyranny from behind a mask.
