Four Color #1005

In "Gunfight Election," corrupt mayor Smiling Jim Caffrey of Rimfire claims to welcome competition—while his henchmen silence opponents with intimidation. As Bret and Bart join forces with challenger Jeff Connors, the campaign heats up in a town where democracy is under fire. Written by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer and illustrated by Dan Spiegle, this 1959 Dell classic captures a tense showdown in a Western town where the ballot box may not be the only weapon on the line.
