A gunslinger named Puncher owns a property with a broken-down shack, which he attempts to sell to Billy for a good price, claiming he has cattle coming in the next few days. Billy agrees to the deal and arranges to meet Puncher and another man in the back of the barber shop that afternoon to complete the transaction. However, Billy discovers that Dodie has been beaten and left in an alley, and when confronted, Puncher demands Billy's gun and threatens to whip him before Billy overpowers him in a fight.

Contains 3 stories
Wolfbait
8 pp · Western-Frontier

Billy the Kid pursues the outlaw Bat Wheeler into a brutal mountain blizzard, determined to capture the killer alive and clear his own name with the town of Sutter's Corners—but a weathered mountain man and a relentless wolf pack complicate the hunt at every turn. With supplies scarce and the storm closing in, Billy must use his wits to corner Wheeler in a hidden cave before the elements claim them all. A hard-edged frontier chase where survival and justice prove equally difficult to secure.

Revenge Fever!
8 pp · Western-Frontier

When Billy the Kid encounters a grief-stricken boy consumed by a burning need to avenge his father's death, he discovers that revenge—however justified—rarely takes the path a young heart imagines. Dodie has sworn to gun down the swindler Fred Bencher, but Billy sees something the boy doesn't yet understand, and sets in motion a plan that will force Bencher to face consequences far more poetic than a quick bullet. What unfolds in the dusty streets and back alleys of town will test whether vigilante justice and the law of the gun can ever truly settle a score.

Killer Not Wanted!
8 pp · Western-Frontier

Billy the Kid finds himself framed for a banker's murder in Red River, but the real mystery deepens when a bank robbery erupts the very night he escapes jail—forcing him to prove his innocence by unraveling who's actually behind the crimes. With suspicious allies helping him flee and a bag of stolen goods containing only old books, Billy must piece together why someone wants him blamed for crimes he didn't commit. A tense game of cat and mouse ensues as Billy races to expose the truth before the town's trigger-happy posse catches up to him.
