“The Secret Trail to Johnny Thunder!”

From DC's long-running frontier anthology comes All Star Western #79 (1954), with a cover by Gil Kane and Bernard Sachs that puts the Trigger Twins in immediate peril — one of the duo clings to a rope over a rocky canyon while a snarling, claws-out bear lunges toward them both against a vivid crimson sky. The cover promises the twins "dare death on the trail of 'The Vanishing Sheriff,'" making it clear this issue delivers the kind of pulse-quickening Western adventure the title was known for at its ten-cent best.

Lt Dan Foley escorts a visiting writer from back East. Desmond Starbright is a "genuine fire-eater" from his popular books, and reporters pester him with questions. Once on the trail, Desmond admits he's a fraud who never fired a gun, but gets his chance when they're ambushed by painted Apaches. Later Desmond tells the reporters "the Army out here is doing a magnificent job keeping the Indians in check!"
