Outlaws of the West #20

When Curtis Rabb, the wealthy owner of Tumbleweed Ranch, shoots an unarmed man, local constable Al Dudley decides the law applies to everyone—even the richest man in the state. Dudley deputizes the townspeople and rides to the heavily fortified ranch with his makeshift posse, armed with nothing but a badge and the bluff that state troops are coming if he doesn't send word by sundown. As Rabb's hired gunmen begin to realize their employer's fortune can't protect them from real consequences, Dudley discovers that sometimes nerve and principle matter more than an army of guns.

Sammy Black, the outlaw who escaped the Tucson bank robbery, returns to the gang's hideout in Buzzard Valley with a secret—he's been working with Sheriff Fenster all along, and his mission is far from over. When he discovers that Big Mike Purdy is holding a U.S. Marshal hostage, Sammy must navigate a dangerous double life, caught between the outlaws who trust him and the lawman he's sworn to protect. As tensions explode into gunfire and a desperate gambit with dynamite, Sammy faces a choice that could blow his cover wide open.

When Sag Wheeler's lawless past clashes with the newly arrived marshal in Squaw Valley, a stolen horse herd and a vicious enemy named Bob Roklen set him on a collision course between justice and survival. Caught between his instinct to settle things himself and a legal system that won't recognize his side of the story, Wheeler finds himself branded an outlaw—and forced to decide whether he'll stay that way. This seven-page tale traces how a good man with rough edges can tumble toward the very fate the law warns him about.
