In "The Carved Bullet," a chance encounter in an abandoned shack leads Randall into a dangerous web when he discovers a wounded man babbling about a secret gathering of Doc Cole’s notorious gang. Written by Gaylord Du Bois, this tense, grounded tale from Four Color #1164 (1961) sets a pulse-pounding stage with a single, chilling clue — a bullet carved with a message — and the promise of a high-stakes pursuit. Cover by an unknown artist, the issue captures the raw, no-frills atmosphere of a classic crime thriller.
