“The Super-Telethon”

In "The Super-Telethon," The Vigilante and his partner Stuff stumble into a town's festive celebration, only to find themselves enforcing long-forgotten laws with surprising seriousness. As The Vigilante cracks down on minor infractions—from whistling after dark to armed mail carriers—Stuff begins to uncover a hidden reason behind the town's unusual arrests. With art by Bob Brown and a cover by Win Mortimer, this 1953 issue blends quirky justice with a quiet undercurrent of tension, all set against the backdrop of a lively, if oddly regulated, community fair.

The Vigilante and Stuff save an old acquaintance from outlaws, and find they have ridden into the nearby town's fun fest. The Vigilante sets about enforcing defunct, yet still on the statute books, laws, such as a mail delivery man carrying a gun on his rounds and another for whistling on the street after sundown, and so on. Stuff learns that he has had these men locked up for their own protection, as each had previously assisted him in capturing a notorious outlaw who has recently escaped from jail and is seeking revenge.
