☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories: "Homeless Bound," in which Captain Doom returns to find himself down on his luck; after losing money and being recognized by Ralph Drucker, a man he left for dead years before, Doom is shot and wounded but manages to escape. A bartender helps Doom and arranges for him to confess his crimes and turn himself in to the sheriff, leading Doom to decide he wants to get straight with the law. "The Great Commander Crazy Horse" depicts the legendary Oglala Sioux cavalry tactician who rode with Chief Red Cloud beginning at age sixteen, showing him in battle against superior forces while never risking his men needlessly, and later engaging in combat with cavalry soldiers and burning their wagon.
A dude from back East falls victim to a ruthless gang of outlaws who steal his money and leave him for dead in the desert, but survival instinct and an old Blackfoot healer give him a second chance—and a new purpose. When Ralph Drucker emerges from the wilderness months later, transformed by hardship and mountain air, he's no longer the frightened tenderfoot; he's ready to face down Tyee Gant and settle accounts on his own terms. "Rabbit and the Lobo Pack" is a tale of redemption through adversity, where a man discovers strength he never knew he had.
Jim Parks discovers his younger brother Flip has fallen in with outlaw Whitey Muntz, stealing cattle and embarking on a crime spree across the West—but when Jim tracks them down, a brutal confrontation forces Flip to choose between the man he's ridden with and the brother he left behind. This six-page tale explores loyalty, redemption, and the cost of the outlaw trail in the rugged frontier tradition.
President Eisenhower called Crazy Horse the greatest Indian cavalry tactician who ever lived, and this account traces the Oglala Sioux leader's rise from a sixteen-year-old riding with Chief Red Cloud to a visionary warrior who united the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes through his marriage to a Cheyenne maiden. Beyond his bold tactics against superior forces, Crazy Horse counseled against reservation life and led his people in resistance against the U.S. Cavalry, from daring raids to recover stolen horses to massive confrontations across the frontier.
A drifter haunted by the Civil War, Captain Doom finds himself mistakenly rounded up with a gang of soldier-turned-outlaws and left for dead in the badlands—only to wash up in the small town of Stonerock, where he attempts to build a new life among people who see him as nothing but a relic of violence. As the weeks wear on, Doom struggles to find his place in a world that seems determined to reject him, wrestling with whether his past as a soldier defines his future.
