☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeBased on the beloved ABC Western TV series, this 1960 Dell issue puts Nick Adams front and center as Johnny Yuma — dressed in his trademark Confederate cap and frontier gear, resting a steady hand on his saddle with the quiet confidence of a man who's seen trouble before. The cover promises a gripping tale as Yuma goes up against an angry mob to save an innocent friend from the gallows, the kind of frontier justice story that made The Rebel essential Saturday-night viewing. Gaylord Du Bois's script, brought to life by artist Mike Sekowsky and inker Mike Peppe, delivers "Bad Medicine" — a title that hints at rough days ahead on the open range.

In the summer of 1865, Confederate war veteran Johnny Yuma returns to his small western town. He finds his father, the sheriff, has been killed and the murderers are now running the town. After taking his father's sawed-off shotgun, Yuma concocts a plan that results in the killing of the men who shot his father. Yuma then leaves town, because staying would remind him of his father. He then meets up with the proprietor of a traveling medicine show, who later is framed as a killer by a gang of hoodlums.
