Choice Comics #2

William Tell, a humble Swiss mountaineer, refuses to bow to tyranny when an Austrian tyrant named Gessler forces his canton under cruel rule—a defiance that leads Gessler to demand the impossible: that Tell shoot an apple from his own son's head or face execution. After a harrowing escape and a pivotal confrontation, Tell rallies his people to overthrow their oppressors and reclaim Switzerland's freedom, though he refuses the throne offered in gratitude.

When the two boatmen must band together to face off against Bully Wilson, a ruthless river pirate terrorizing the Mississippi, their rivalry transforms into an alliance tested by gunfire, treachery, and the deadly currents of the American frontier.
