Kit Carson signs on to guide the Henderson wagon train through the Savage Mountains, but wagonmaster Whistleley plans an ambush using the route to provoke an Indian attack. When Comanches raid the wagons, Carson and his allies defend the train and discover Whistleley's treachery, forcing a confrontation with Tall Wolf and his warriors who seek vengeance for past wrongs. The story also includes a subplot involving the capture and rescue of characters caught between the conflict, culminating in violence and the pursuit of justice in a frontier town jail.

When the Comanches kidnap a young settler's daughter for ransom, Kit Carson sets out with a fellow trapper to rescue her from the war camp—aided by an unexpected ally whose own heart is caught in the conflict. Moving through secret mountain passes toward Chief Horse-Hair's tepees, Kit must navigate not just the painted warriors on his trail, but the tangled loyalties and fierce emotions that threaten to explode into bloodshed. This tale of frontier rescue, Indian politics, and human passion tests whether even Kit Carson can outmaneuver the Terror Out of Taos.

When a Blackfoot war chief's jealousy over a young woman named Wildflower turns deadly, Kit Carson must confront Tall Wolf in a high-stakes knife duel—but the conflict between them threatens far more than their own lives. As tensions escalate between the mountain men and the tribe, Kit and Abel Karnes find themselves caught in a web of false accusations and mounting danger that could ignite a war and cost the young nation control of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest. Only Kit's wits and fighting skill stand between peace and catastrophe in this frontier clash of honor and survival.

Six-Shooter Serenade
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When "Keno" Rawson's scheme to frame Tex Gregor for the murder of Jim Stone backfires, the wounded gunslinger must flee into the desert and plot his return—all while Apache City descends into lawlessness under Rawson's control. With the help of allies like Charlie Horn, Tex prepares to expose the truth and bring down Rawson's mob once and for all. Written by the Kit Carson creative team, this eight-page western delivers gunplay and frontier justice in equal measure.
