All Star Western #70

In "The Three Dooms of Blue Crow!", a haunted Indian shaman returns to town with ominous warnings for Sheriff Wayne—his horse, gun, and rope will fail him.

In "Giant of the Badlands!" from All Star Western #70 (1953), the lone Indian archer Strong Bow ventures into a ghost town only to be met with terror by two terrified survivors who believe him to be a monstrous figure from the Badlands.

In the dusty frontier of 1953, the Fighting Fifth finds themselves surrounded by Apaches—until a strange balloon descends from the sky. With a skeptical colonel dismissing the idea of aerial scouts, one man, Foley, takes to the skies in a daring test flight, spotting a looming threat that changes everything. When he uses the balloon not as a tool of war, but as a surprise weapon, the tide turns in a way no one expected.

In "Ambush at Sundown!" from All Star Western #70, Johnny Thunder faces a deadly game of wits when a notorious killer, Silk Black, publicly threatens to gun him down at sundown. With the town on edge, Johnny walks into the trap—only to turn the tables with help from his loyal horse, Lightning, and a clever ruse that exposes Silk Black’s pride as his undoing.
