In "Jailbreak!", Kid Colt finds himself on the trail of a thief who’s stolen his horse, only to face a dangerous duo: a cunning gunman and a powerful blacksmith whose mind was shattered by a blow to the head. With help from an unlikely ally, the Kid must outwit his foes and reclaim what’s his. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Keller’s dynamic art and Christopher Rule’s sharp inks, with Joe Maneely’s bold cover, this 1958 Western thriller delivers a tense, action-packed ride.
