☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories: "Puma on the Prowl," in which a boy named Tom befriends a wild puma while Lash LaRue, a marshal passing through, helps protect the animal from a homesteader named Bart Loomis who hates it. "Killer Loose" features Lash LaRue working to capture the escaped prisoner Cato, who was being held in a frontier town jail; after retrieving a key from Cato's bracelet, Lash pursues the fugitive. The issue also includes a backup story "The Scorpion's Nest" featuring the character Lawman Hater.
Lash LaRue finally tracks down Kell Ormsby and his gang of desert outlaws, known as the Scorpions, to their hidden stronghold in the burning wastes—but the trap snaps shut, and Ormsby leaves the lawman stranded in the scorching sands with nothing but his wits. Racing against the heat and the odds, Lash must rely on his bond with his faithful horse to turn the tables on the Scorpions and bring the gang to justice.
A homesteader's ranch burns to the ground when a vengeful cattleman impersonates Lash LaRue to drive him off the land—but when the real marshal arrives to investigate the fire, he discovers a twisted scheme that's about to spiral into tragedy. As a desperate man straps dynamite to his body seeking revenge, Lash must act fast to uncover the truth before innocent lives are caught in the blast.
When hired gunmen spring prisoner Amos Cato from a frontier jail, they believe they're freeing a criminal—but Marshal Hurd Loomis has a different plan in mind. As Cato and his new allies head toward what should be an easy bank robbery, the marshal orchestrates a trap that turns the outlaw's own greed and ambition against him. "Killer Loose" is a sharp tale of misdirection and justice on the rough frontier.
A massive mountain lion—scarred and man-hating after a bullet wound—stalks a young shepherd named Joey in the high country, and when the big cat corners the boy, Lash LaRue arrives just in time to drive it back. With his ammunition still damp from a creek crossing and his guns unreliable, Lash must rely on his whip and wits to protect Joey and hunt down the dangerous puma before it strikes again.
