In "The Sleep That Lasted 1000 Years," Greg and his companion Stuff venture into the western mesa lands in search of tribal chants for Greg's radio show, only to stumble upon a band of ruffians threatening Native Americans. When the mysterious vigilante Vigilante bursts into the scene and drives them off, the local chief, Three Bears, reveals a hidden treasure tied to the lyrics of an ancient song—something the outlaws were desperate to uncover. Bob Brown handles both pencils and inks for the interior art, while Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye bring the cover to life.
