Written by Al Hartley and illustrated by Jack Keller, with inks by Keller and letters by Artie Simek, this 1978 issue delivers a classic Western mystery with a twist that lands hard when the raider is finally unmasked. The cover, by John Buscema and Alan Weiss, captures the moment of revelation in dramatic style.
