Gabby Hayes Western #18
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeGabby Hayes pursues the outlaw Bluebeard after a stagecoach robbery, but discovers that the criminal he captures is a fake—a disguised gang member sent to decoy the lawman. While Gabby is led on a wild chase toward a volcano, Bluebeard's real gang strikes at a gold shipment from the mint. Gabby eventually sees through the deception when the fake's blue dye washes away in water, revealing the impostor's true identity. In the climactic confrontation, Gabby engages in a shootout with the gang near their hideout, ultimately defeating them and thwarting Bluebeard's scheme.
In "Not a Wooden Head!", Chief Gray Matter finds himself dodging a chat with Busybody by quipping that he's planting "wooden trees"—a deadpan punchline that lands with the quiet humor of a frontier standoff. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this one-page gem captures a moment of dry wit in the dusty world of Gabby Hayes Western.
Gabby Hayes stumbles onto the hideout of the notorious outlaw Bluebeard after a case of mistaken identity leaves him with a blue-dyed beard and fleeing for his life. When the real Bluebeard arrives to find his gang taking orders from an imposter, the two blue-bearded men face off in a showdown that'll test Gabby's quick thinking against genuine criminal cunning. Packed with the wild humor and mayhem Gabby Hayes Western fans expect, "Bluebeard" proves that sometimes the best disguise is the one your enemy doesn't expect.
