Cow Puncher Comics #4

Kit West arrives at a frontier settlement plagued by unexplained deaths—entire families found dead with mysterious red handprints burned into their chests and the reek of brimstone in the air. As panic spreads and settlers prepare to abandon Fort York, Kit must uncover whether a genuine evil spirit is stalking the land or if something far more human and cunning is at work.

A Texas Ranger rescues a young woman named Joan Brooks from brutal attackers on the road and discovers she's searching for a hidden gold vein her late uncle left clues about—a cryptic message depicting a top hat and shovel. Together they venture into the abandoned Colby Mine to solve the puzzle, but someone seems determined to stop them, and the danger runs deeper than Joan realizes. With the mystery of the old mine drawing them closer to answers, they race against time to uncover what her uncle died protecting.

Peace comes to a breaking point in the tiny Saskatchewan town of Millglow when six people connected to the Lubart family are brutally murdered in a single night—shot multiple times, their home burned to ash. Sergeant Ken Knight arrives to find virtually no evidence: no witnesses, no motive that sticks, and a killer who seems to have vanished without a trace. As Ken and his partner work through the tight-knit community's secrets and grudges, a chilling possibility begins to take shape.
