☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Rifle Named 'Betsy'," a quiet frontier tension simmers as railroad workers halt construction amid signs of Pawnee attacks. Bill rides out to meet Yellow Feather, his old friend and the tribe’s chief, who pledges peace—though his son, Wild Bear, seems determined to test that promise. With Joe Kubert’s powerful art bringing the rugged landscape and simmering conflict to life, this issue captures the fragile balance of trust on the edge of the American West. The cover by John Prentice perfectly frames the story’s quiet dread.
When a stranger arrives claiming to be the famed frontiersman Davy and steals his legendary rifle, Old Betsy, the real Davy sets out to reclaim his name and weapon. With quiet determination, he tracks the imposter across the frontier, knowing the truth will only be proven in a showdown where skill, not swagger, decides who truly carries the rifle.
In the tense stretch between Kansas and California, construction halts as Pawnee raids cast shadows over the iron horse’s progress. Bill rides out to meet Yellow Feather, his old friend and the Pawnee chief, hoping for peace—only to find that not all of the tribe share his faith in truce.
In the dusty heat of the frontier, Kit rides hard toward Fort Santa Fe, his eyes sharp on the growing threat of a united Apache force. With only days to spare, he races to warn his old friend Lt. Fremont before the siege begins.
