“The Secret Sheriff of Rocky City!”

DC's long-running frontier anthology delivers plenty of Western action in this 1954 issue, featuring the story "The Secret Sheriff of Rocky City!" The cover, penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Joe Giella, captures a tense stagecoach struggle — a fringed hero grapples with a gunman outside the coach while a third figure watches from within, dust kicking up beneath the wheels. Inside, "The West's Greatest Heroes" — the Trigger Twins, Johnny Thunder, Strong Bow, and Lt. Dan Foley — all share the spotlight for a packed ten-cent read.

Strong Bow, the wandering warrior, enters a village dying of thirst despite days of rainmaking magic. He promises to find water, but Dark Crow, a stranger doubts it. When Strong Bow finds a great hole in the earth, Dark Crow's men drive him in and seal it with a boulder. Down below, Strong Bow finds water and drops rocks to block the stream. With a rumble and roar, Strong Bow soars from the earth on a geyser. The tribal lands are watered again, and Dark Crow is banished.
