Kid Montana #38

Kid Montana answers an urgent summons from Dr. Jane Clark to guide a medical expedition into a plague-stricken jungle swamp, where a mysterious illness threatens to devastate the entire region. As the gunfighter leads the doctor and her colleague through treacherous terrain filled with savage wildlife and ominous jungle dangers, they discover that the plague may be far more sinister than a natural outbreak—and that a force named Manu stands against anyone who would stop it. With the medical outpost still hours away and the expedition's Indian bearers abandoning them in fear, Kid Montana must push forward alone to determine what waits ahead.

Snake Crowley, a drifter with a quick gun and quicker wits, rides into Dogwood, Kansas looking to make a name for himself—and spots an opening when he learns Sheriff Jeff Dunkin has a badly injured hand. The gunslinger presses his advantage, taunting the lawman and forcing a showdown at high noon. When the moment of truth arrives, Crowley discovers there's far more to Sheriff Dunkin than his injury might suggest.

Kid Montana receives an urgent summons from Baron Kurtz, a wealthy world traveler who's settled in a castle-like mansion in the frontier wilderness, only to awaken imprisoned in a medieval torture chamber with a descending spiked ceiling. Forced to escape and flee into the jungle, the gunfighter must stay ahead of the Baron—a skilled hunter determined to turn their encounter into a deadly game of pursuit. With the Baron closing in relentlessly, Kid Montana must use his wits and resourcefulness to survive against an opponent who refuses to let him leave alive.
