Crown Comics #17

When Marshal Slim Devilin swore off his guns to run a trading post in Mexico, he thought his days of violence were behind him—until word reaches him that his friend Charlie Devers has been gunned down in Silver City by the ruthless Shotgun Brady and his killer crew. Devilin straps on his black-handled guns and rides back across the border to confront the man who's taken over the town he once tamed. As he gathers evidence and closes in on Brady, a final reckoning waits in Silver City.

In this charming 1949 western-humor tale from Crown Comics #17, Minnie and Haha, untouched by outsiders, warmly welcome a friendly trapper to their remote village—only to find their peaceful days upended when a group of less welcoming trappers arrive on the scene.

Bart Stewart returns from the Caribbean to find his shipping company implicated in an illegal gun-smuggling operation—English muskets marked as farm tools have been reaching Indian raiders on the frontier, devastating settlements. Racing to uncover the real culprit before more weapons reach the Mingoes, Bart and his determined ally Musket track the smugglers to a remote hideout, where they must act fast to stop a catastrophic arms trade.
