☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Escape the Death Trap," Jesse James and his gang face off against the notorious Ghost Town Gunmen in a showdown at a long-abandoned settlement, where every shadow hides a threat and every empty building could be a trap. Penciled and inked by Leonard Starr, the story captures the raw tension of a high-stakes showdown, while Everett Raymond Kinstler’s cover art perfectly captures the gritty, dangerous atmosphere of the tale.
Jesse James refuses to let an innocent man hang for a crime his gang committed—so when Sheriff Corliss sentences the reformed outlaw Arapaho Charlie Beuder to the noose, Jesse and his men stage a desperate rescue at the gallows. But the Pinkerton Detective has been playing a deeper game all along, using Charlie as bait to lure Jesse into a deadly ambush in Coffin Gap, where fifty rifles wait in the darkness.
When Jesse James discovers the Lost Canyons—a treacherous maze of twisting trails that confound even seasoned cavalry—he finds the perfect hideout for his outlaw operations. As Lieutenant Lew Collins and the U.S. Army close in, Jesse and his gang use their intimate knowledge of the canyons to stay one step ahead, robbing the Kansas Pacific and leading pursuing soldiers deeper into the labyrinth. General Hodges must find a way to turn the tables before Jesse's mastery of the terrain makes him untouchable.
In the dusty ruins of a forgotten frontier town, Jesse James and his gang ride into a showdown with a band of ruthless outlaws who’ve made the ghost town their stronghold. With no law and no mercy, the stage is set for a raw, no-holds-barred clash between men who’ve already lost everything.
Dutch Henry rises from penniless cattle driver to ruthless rustler after being stranded and cheated by rancher Earl Robinson in Dodge City, turning his rage into a criminal enterprise that systematically preys on herds heading to market. With the help of his gang and a front man posing as a cattle dealer, Dutch builds a fearsome reputation—but his greed and arrogance may finally catch up with him as old enemies close in.
