Four Color #769

In "The Marshal's Gamble," Matt Dillon finds himself tangled in a web of deception when a gambler, Dodd, is caught with a marked deck—only to later claim he was robbed by the very gang he’d been cheating with. As the Bar W men are brought in for questioning, Dillon must weigh whether Dodd’s story is a desperate lie or a genuine cry for help, all while the stakes of loyalty and justice hang in the balance. Art by Jim McLaughlin, this 1957 Dell Four Color issue delivers a tense, grounded Western mystery with a twist that lingers long after the final page.
