In "Hank 'Two-Gun' Corley!", a wannabe outlaw named John Morlan rides west chasing fame, eager to live up to the legends he idolizes—only to find himself tangled in a deadly game he never meant to play. Graham Ingels' stark, expressive art brings the grim consequences of ambition to life, while Johnny Craig's cover captures the cold finality of a man caught between myth and justice.
