In "Riders of the Red Wind," a brother's reputation hangs in the balance when he’s branded a coward after failing to cross a treacherous gorge—only to later prove his courage by making the same leap, discovering his missing brother, Painted Lance, alive on a ledge surrounded by vultures. Bob Webb’s art, with inks by David Heames, brings the rugged frontier to life, while Maurice Whitman’s cover captures the tension of the moment in bold, dramatic strokes.
