☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories: "Homeless Bound," in which Captain Doom returns to find himself down on his luck; after losing money and being recognized by Ralph Drucker, a man he left for dead years before, Doom is shot and wounded but manages to escape. A bartender helps Doom and arranges for him to confess his crimes and turn himself in to the sheriff, leading Doom to decide he wants to get straight with the law. "The Great Commander Crazy Horse" depicts the legendary Oglala Sioux cavalry tactician who rode with Chief Red Cloud beginning at age sixteen, showing him in battle against superior forces while never risking his men needlessly, and later engaging in combat with cavalry soldiers and burning their wagon.
A wounded man, Ralph Drucker, survives being left for dead by outlaws and is rescued by a mysterious Native American known only as Rabbit, who nurses him back to health in a remote cave. As Drucker recovers, he grows stronger and begins to plot revenge against the gang that stole his money, guided by Rabbit’s wisdom that true strength comes not from wealth, but from justice. The story follows Drucker’s transformation from a desperate man into a determined one, setting him on a path to confront his enemies in a remote saloon.
Flip Parks and Whitey Muntz are on the run after robbing a Wells Fargo express office, their partnership strained by growing tensions. When Jim Parks, Flip’s older brother, tracks them down, the truth about their crimes and Flip’s hidden loyalty begins to unravel.
The story portrays Crazy Horse, the Oglala Sioux leader, as a visionary warrior who united tribes through marriage and led bold resistance against U.S. forces. Though outnumbered, he orchestrated daring raids and strategic retreats, including a successful mission to recover a stolen pony herd after a devastating attack. His leadership culminated in the Battle of the Little Big Horn, where he faced General Custer’s forces.
Captain Doom, a lone survivor of the Civil War, is captured by a ruthless marshal and forced to march with a group of outlaws toward Fort Parsons. As he endures the brutal journey, he confronts the weight of his past and the harsh judgment of a society that sees him only as a relic of a bygone era. When a chance encounter with a kind stranger in the town of Stonerock offers a fragile hope of belonging, Doom must decide whether to stay and rebuild—or flee once more.
