☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the daily newspaper strips of Stan Lynde's Rick O'Shay from 1963 and 1964, continuing the adventures of the easygoing sheriff of the wild and woolly town of Conniption, Montana. The strips showcase Lynde's blend of Western humor and adventure, featuring characters like the dapper Hipshot Percussion and the resourceful Rick himself. Published by Cottonwood Graphics in 1996, this is part of a series reprinting the classic comic strip's daily installments in chronological order.
In "Doctor Franklinstein," Stan Lynde delivers a taut, character-driven Western where violence spirals from a single act of betrayal. When two crooked gamblers are killed by robbers, the stolen loot is quickly seized by the enigmatic Hipshot—only for the surviving robber to turn on him, setting off a chain of events that traps Hipshot and Rick O'Shay in a web of suspicion in the lawless town of Conniption. With Lynde handling every aspect of the art and lettering, the story unfolds with the sharp, deliberate pacing of a classic noir, all under his distinctive, gritty cover by Stan Lynde.
In "Paris Green," the sharp-tongued Paris Green arrives in the dusty town of Conniption with her shady allies, Filthy" Lucre and his gunman One-Eyed Jack, determined to upend the local saloon scene and force Gaye Abandon out of business—no matter the cost. The story unfolds with a tense mix of grit and ambition, where every glance and loaded silence hints at a deeper game beneath the surface.
Deuces Wilde inherits the riverboat Hushpuppy, a name that’s a bit of a joke in a town with no river—until he hires the Kyutes to perform a rain dance to make the boat seaworthy, only to find their magic brings more rain than anyone expected.
In "Shooting Hoops," Chief Horse's Neck takes a surprising turn from traditional frontier life to organize a basketball team for his young men, aiming to improve their fitness and spirit—only to find themselves facing off against a rival squad from Conniption in a high-stakes game for a $2,000 prize.
In "Brother Hood," Deuces Wilde’s suspicion that his wallet has been stolen ignites a tense chain of events in a frontier town where fear and suspicion run deep. As a group of hooded townsfolk take matters into their own hands, the line between justice and mob rule begins to blur.
In "Law and Disorder," Rick O'Shay’s gritty western frontier tale unfolds with a brutal robbery gone wrong, setting off a chain of violence that leads two killers to the lawless town of Conniption. When Hipshot steps in to settle the score, the aftermath leaves only suspicion and a missing gun—just as Rick arrives to find a town already steeped in secrets.
When the sultry performer Sultry Sashay arrives in Conniption, Deuces Wilde has a plan—though it’s not the one Moonglow expected. Inspired by the star’s flair and fame, Moonglow finds herself dreaming of a spotlight of her own.
