Gunsmoke Western #77

In "Don't Draw Against Drago!" from Gunsmoke Western #77 (1963), Kid Colt takes on the deadly Drago after being asked by a sheriff's wife to defend her husband. Though Drago proves faster and more ruthless, outdrawing Colt and leaving him wounded, the showdown isn't over—Colt’s grit and skill ultimately turn the tide.

In "Guns Bark in the Badlands," Hank navigates treacherous terrain to ferry his passengers through the lawless Badlands, facing down hijackers with grit and calm. When they reach Cheyenne, the gratitude he earns is quickly overshadowed as Mr. Carter steps forward, claiming the victory for himself.

In "They Call Him... Dude!" from Gunsmoke Western #77, the legend of the Dude precedes him—cowboys from miles around challenge him to duels, eager to test their mettle against a man said to be the fastest gun in the West. But the truth is far more surprising: it's his bumbling sidekick Dusty who's the real quick-draw, while the Dude himself barely knows how to hold a gun.
