"Alert for War Paint" kicks off with Garrett dispatched to buy horses for the Pony Express, only to find the Thirty Mile Station in ruins after bandits steal $5,000 in gold and stage a fire that points fingers at the local Native American tribe. Written by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer and illustrated by Nicholas Firfires—whose distinctive art brings the dusty frontier to life—this 1958 Four Color adventure blends tension and mystery in a story that’s as much about perception as it is about survival. The cover by Sam Savitt captures the moment’s urgency with bold, dynamic lines.
