☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. "Kit Carson and the Trail of Doom" depicts Kit Carson in a gunfight with hostile forces in snowy terrain on the cover. "Grey Wolf's Revenge" (Chapter Two) follows Pawnee Bill's victory over the renegade Grey Wolf, after which the Daltons arrive in an Arkansas city and report Pawnee Bill's death to their boss McCormick, prompting plans to eliminate Pawnee's remaining followers. A separate story, "The Race-Track Rub-Out!," involves a murder attempt at a racetrack where somebody is trying to kill a man who needs police protection, with suspects including a wife, a boss named Vanlee, a gambler, and various stable workers.
In the remote, dangerous frontier of Wind River country, Kit Carson discovers a wounded trapper with a horrifying story: white men posing as Indians have been systematically murdering trappers to keep the valley's rich furs and gold for themselves. Teaming up with the famous Jedediah Smith, Kit leads a small party into the Doom Trail to confront the killers, only to find himself and his men trapped, outnumbered, and running critically low on ammunition and food. With the situation desperate and lives hanging in the balance, Kit must make a perilous solo journey back to the trading post for supplies—all while the murderous gang hunts him through the unforgiving mountains.
After a brutal defeat at Pawnee Bill's hands, Grey Wolf is cast out from his tribe—but the renegade Pawnee chief won't accept this humiliation. Finding an unlikely ally in outlaw Buck Dalton, who supplies rifles and ammunition, Grey Wolf sets his sights on Pawnee Bill and the settlers flooding into Oklahoma Territory. As the great land rush begins, Grey Wolf launches devastating attacks on the wagon trains and homesteads, determined to drive back the white invasion—and claim his revenge on the man who bested him.
A celebrated jockey finds himself the target of four suspicious characters—his estranged wife, a crooked gambler, his boss, and a stable hand—each with their own reason to want him dead. When Midge Morgan takes Blue Blazes to the track for what should be a sure thing, a deadly mystery unfolds at the finish line that will test Inspector Yates' detective skills against a clever killer betting on murder.
