In "The Alliance of Boss Garlow," Buck finds himself in a tense standoff after disarming his captor just before reaching the gang's hideout. With the posse closing in, the outlaws are finally brought to justice, but the victory is short-lived—Buck soon receives a mysterious note signed by the White Arrow, demanding he leave town. The story, illustrated by Ken Battefield, unfolds with sharp pacing and early 1940s adventure flair, while the cover by C. C. Beck and Pete Costanza captures the moment's suspense in bold, dynamic lines.
