☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn outlaw stops by a lonely river for a drink and discovers a supposedly dead kid, only to be captured by law enforcement who have been hunting him. The outlaw is taken to Eagle Gar, where he learns the boy is alive and the authorities believe him responsible for kidnapping. In a confrontation, a brute officer attempts to force the outlaw to reveal information through violence, but the outlaw fights back and manages to escape. The issue also includes an unrelated short story titled "The Crooked Deck," depicting a poker game where skilled player Hunk Bonney uses a marked deck to cheat fellow gamblers including Dave Somyak, Frank Ross, and Bob Scott.
Billy the Kid, tracking a killer he believes to be dead, finds himself entangled in a web of deception when a mysterious shirt leads him to suspect that the outlaw Bart Stanton is still alive—and that the local deputy is involved in a scheme to frame him. As Billy investigates, he uncovers a conspiracy in Range City where the town’s so-called hero may be the real criminal, forcing him to outwit both the deputy and Stanton in a tense game of cat and mouse.
In the dusty frontier town of Eagle Gap, a young boy named Ricky Farrell arrives to reunite with his father, only to vanish after encountering a mysterious stranger. Billy the Kid, a lone rider passing through, stumbles into the mystery and soon finds himself caught in a web of deception when he discovers the man claiming to be Ricky’s father is actually an imposter posing as the ranch owner. With Ricky hidden and the real John Farrell in danger, Billy must use his wits and a trusty sling shot to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
Billy the Kid arrives in Scragg County as Dan Magee is led to the gallows, falsely accused of bank robbery. A young woman claiming to be Dan’s sister, Nancy, begs Billy to help prove his innocence, setting off a tense escape and a race against time as they flee the sheriff’s men and the town’s mob.
Clay Allison, a notorious figure of the Old West, is portrayed through a series of vivid anecdotes from his life: from his flamboyant antics like riding naked through Canadian, Texas, to his infamous calm in killing a drunk in Dodge City. The story highlights his larger-than-life persona—ranging from dueling and "hurrahing" towns to his bizarre appointment as foreman of a drunken grand jury—painting him as a legend of the frontier.
