☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Masked Ranger encounters a ghost gang terrorizing a valley with death-dealing gunfire at the Boiling Springs, and is called upon to track them down aided only by a single Indian ally. After surviving a harrowing blizzard while traveling to investigate, the Ranger discovers the Indians have mistaken him for the ghost gang leader and demand he remove his mask; he uses the sacred boiling springs and geysers of Yellowstone to outwit the gang and expose their deception. The issue also contains "Frontier Killer," a tale of an outlaw named Standish who seeks fortune in Arizona, only to meet his match when he encounters a drummer on a remote road.
A shy young bank clerk arrives in Mill Valley and discovers the town plagued by ruthless raiders preying on homesteaders and honest folk alike. Determined to help, he begins secret training under an elderly former lawman, and when he's ready, he dons a mask and becomes the Masked Ranger—but bringing justice to a corrupt frontier proves far more complicated when the very sheriff stands against him. This is the untold story of how an ordinary man became the West's most wanted avenger.
The Crimson Avenger—a man torn between two worlds—must rescue a kidnapped heiress from a gang of renegade outlaws and Indians while clearing his name in a murder he didn't commit. Disguised and infiltrating the outlaw camp, Victor Kincaid navigates a deadly game of deception, trusted by neither the townspeople hunting him nor the ruthless men holding Lise Allen captive. With time running out and the outlaws growing restless, the Avenger faces his most harrowing challenge yet.
The Masked Ranger takes on the ruthless Ghost Gang when Captain Whitford appeals to him for help tracking the outlaws through the treacherous terrain of Boiling Springs—a sacred and perilous land the local tribes know well. After gaining the trust of the native peoples, the Ranger infiltrates the gang's hideout with a guide, only to find himself captured and forced to survive the deadly landscape itself. Now separated and stripped of his weapons, he must rely on his wits and trail craft to navigate the boiling geysers, quicksand, and cliffs while seeking a way to stop Boss Welton and his men.
In 1954's "Frontier Killer," a traveling drummer named Harry Standish unwittingly becomes caught in the crosshairs of a deadly feud when he ignores "King" Fisher's warning sign and takes the outlaw's claimed road through Arizona territory. When Standish is mysteriously shot down, the townspeople blame Fisher—but the real killer, a man named "Slick" Brady, has set a cunning trap to frame the braggart gunslinger for murder. Fisher must race against a lynch mob and uncover the truth before Brady's scheme consumes them all.
