Cow Puncher Comics #3

When a string of robberies plagues the territory, a visiting researcher named Todd convinces the Texas Ranger that an old legend has come alive—a band of outlaws hanged twenty years ago, now returning as the spectral "Fiery Riders" to terrorize the range. But as the mysterious glowing figures strike again and again, the Ranger's sharp instincts begin to unravel the truth behind the supernatural terror. With powdered sulphur as his only clue, he closes in on the real scheme behind the legend of the Fiery Riders.

When rustlers plague her ranch and sickness keeps her bedridden, Sonora Sally Larkin summons her two sons—hard men with quick guns—to settle the score in "The Sons of Sonora Sally." But the youngest son carries a crippled arm and a promise to his dying mother: stop the Cross and Crescent gang without drawing his six-shooter. Facing rustlers, a crooked lawman, and the ghost of his fallen brother, he'll have to prove that brains and nerve can outgun pure speed.

Kit West, the frontier's most famous scout, intervenes when the townspeople of Honesville begin torturing Indian prisoners after a hard-won victory, arguing that cruelty only breeds more cruelty. To convince the angry men that mercy is strength, she shares a harrowing tale from her own past—one that taught her the value of compassion even in the midst of savage conflict. Her passionate plea forces a reckoning about what kind of people the settlers want to be on this violent frontier.
