☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Flame of the Frontier" kicks off in 1948 with Joe Strange, a man drawn into a web of violence when a gambling boss hires him to eliminate a boxer who refused to throw a fight. Framed by marked bills from a robbery, Strange becomes a fugitive, unleashing a brutal spree of retribution—only to find his downfall rooted in an unexpected, deep-seated fear of cats. Frank Bolle handles both art and inks for the story, while Fred Guardineer delivers the striking cover.
In "Gunman!", Joe Strange takes on a job that starts with a simple hit—eliminating a boxer who refused to fix a fight for a gambling boss. But when the payment comes in marked bills tied to a recent robbery, the heat from the cops forces him into a violent spiral of revenge. His one strange weakness—his hatred of cats—may be the only thing that can stop him.
In the dusty frontier of 1948, 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 odds stacked high, Guns takes on the role of marshal in Abilene, a move that puts him squarely in the crosshairs of the dangerous Carstairs.
"Jail-Fear!" follows "Pretty Boy" as he scrambles across the Midwest, desperate to avoid a return to Missouri penitentiary after five years behind bars—his past a shadow he’ll burn the world to outrun. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the relentless tension of a man whose freedom is measured in miles and blood.
