Six-Gun Heroes #27

Lash Larue, the newly arrived roving marshal in Sombreland Territory, faces a crisis when his bullwhip is stolen—just as he’s trying to establish authority over a town plagued by fear and a protection racket run by Granger. As townspeople begin to doubt his ability to protect them, Lash must uncover the truth behind the theft and the suspicious accidents that followed, all while navigating a web of deception that threatens his reputation.

In the dusty frontier town of Twin Forks, a murder rocks the Rockin’ Bar X ranch when boss Jake Hayes is found dead near the safe, which was recently emptied. With suspicion falling on cowhand Chet Martin, Tex Ritter arrives to investigate, only to uncover a web of deception that leads him to question who truly stole from the safe—and who really pulled the trigger.

Rocky Lane arrives in a quiet frontier town only to find a bank under attack—by robbers who flee with bags marked "GOLD" but leave the vault untouched. As he investigates, he grows suspicious when the bank's president insists he drove off the robbers single-handedly, despite the strange lack of stolen gold, leading Rocky to uncover a clever scheme involving fake gold and a hidden swindle.

Tom Mix arrives in Dobie just as the showboat docks, only to find the town deserted and the bank robbed—right after he’s knocked unconscious by the thieves. As he recovers, he pieces together that the masked robbers must be among the showboat’s performers, using the long intermissions between acts to commit crimes and return to their roles, until he uncovers their hidden loot in imitation ice blocks during the final scene.
