Contains 4 stories
The Thing
8 pp

Gunsmoke and his pal Pedro arrive in El Diablo, Texas just as a monstrous creature strikes down a victim—the first in a series of brutal killings that has the local ranch community living in terror. When the duo agrees to help track the supernatural beast, they discover that stopping an enemy that cannot be killed by ordinary bullets demands a strategy as cunning as it is dangerous.

The Invisible Assassin
7 pp

In the late 1880s, the town of Los Ranchos is gripped by a string of impossible murders—bullets from nowhere, no killer in sight. When a young woman named Anne Bolton arrives demanding a deputy's badge and a chance to catch the killer, the skeptical sheriff makes her a deal: prove herself by stopping the invisible assassin. As Anne investigates a mystery that defies logic, she begins to uncover the truth behind a killer who seems to strike from thin air.

Indian Fighting President of the United States
7 pp

Young William Henry Harrison trades his dreams of medicine for a commission in the Continental Army, and proves himself a natural leader in the wilderness campaigns against Native American forces—from his desperate march to reinforce General Wayne at the Battle of the Fallen Timbers to his later showdown with the formidable Tecumseh as Governor of Indiana Territory. This 1952 tale follows the Virginia youth's unlikely path from a shooting match in Richmond to the corridors of power, capturing the pivotal military moments that would define a nation.

Beasts of Horror
7 pp

When a series of impossible robberies plague Rocky City—a bank and a mine payroll both hit by creatures that seem to be half-man, half-beast—mild-mannered Chet Fairchild transforms into the Masked Marvel to investigate. Seeking answers in Indian legends and ancient magic, the caped avenger discovers an evil medicine man has returned to the hills with supernatural powers over animals, and now Marvel must face beasts of terror in a final showdown. With nothing but his wits, his guns, and the wisdom of a Sioux elder, can the Masked Marvel survive the curse of these creatures—or will dark magic claim another victim?
