Guns of Fact and Fiction #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Flame of the Frontier" delivers a gritty 1950s noir punch, spotlighting Joe Strange in a tale of betrayal and bloody retribution. With stark, expressive art by Frank Bolle, the story unfolds as a down-and-dirty crime thriller where a hitman’s loyalty is tested by forged money and a personal vendetta. The cover by Fred Guardineer captures the mood perfectly—tense and shadowed, just like the mystery within.
In "Gunman!", Joe Strange takes a job to eliminate a boxer who betrayed a gambling syndicate—only to find himself tangled in a web of marked bills from a recent robbery. As the police close in, Strange turns his fury into a violent pursuit of those who set him up. But his relentless rage may be undone by a single, unexpected weakness: his deep-seated hatred of cats.
In the dusty frontier of 1950, Guns West and his partner Nuggets set out on a cattle drive to Dodge City—only to have their herd stolen just outside Abilene. With the law in disarray, Guns is appointed marshal of Abilene, a move that puts him squarely in the crosshairs of the dangerous Carstairs.
"Jail-Fear!" follows "Pretty Boy," a man haunted by his past after five years in the Missouri penitentiary, as he spirals into a desperate crime spree across the Midwest—driven by a terror so deep he’ll do anything to avoid returning to prison. The story, written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, captures the raw, relentless anxiety of a man running from his own history.
