☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features two stories. "Behind the Guns" stars the Gunmaster, who enters a hidden cave and transforms into a man of action to combat enemies after receiving a token from a Sioux brave that promises protection against rattlesnakes. "Harrison Trail" is a text story recounting episodes from the life of John Harrison, a non-drinking lawman born in 1850 who owned the Bar-H Ranch from 1874 to 1886 and once captured the outlaw Jed Oliver by using a hand-pumped fire engine to drench him and his gang with water. The issue also features stories involving the Tansey Brothers, Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Hickok, and Lash LaRue, as indicated on the cover.
In Skull City, Marshal Wyatt Earp faces off against Crusher Bantree, a powerful brawler whose uncle—the even more formidable Morse Bantree—arrives in town hungry for revenge. With a cracked knuckle from his first fight and danger closing in, Earp must decide whether to stand his ground or back down from a man who makes his nephew look small. This wild western showdown tests whether the famous lawman's courage and quick wits can match the raw strength of the mountain men who've come looking for blood.
The Gunmaster, a masked gunslinger whose true identity remains cloaked in mystery, thwarts what appears to be an Indian raid on the town of Rawhide—but discovers the attackers are actually white men in disguise. When one man learns the Gunmaster's real identity and reveals a scheme to spark war between settlers and the Sioux to claim gold on tribal lands, the masked gunsmith must race against time to prevent a massacre. With his wits and his arsenal, the Gunmaster fights to stop the conspiracy before it ignites the very conflict his enemy has engineered.
When a tyrannical figure named Faro Contois takes over the town of Coltsville through violence and intimidation, calling himself "El Jefe" and ruling through fear, Lash LaRue arrives to challenge his iron grip. Facing down Contois's hired gunmen and recognizing that even the most powerful despot has a breaking point, Lash takes action to dismantle the dictator's hold on the town and its people.
Wild Bill Hickok faces a puzzling challenge: a young stranger calls him out for a gunfight, but before they can settle it, an old convict named Cap Kane—recently released after ten years in prison—interrupts with his own vendetta against Hickok. As sundown approaches and the mystery of the kid's motivation deepens, Hickok must confront the true cost of Kane's obsession for vengeance. "End of a Badman" explores what drives a man back toward violence and the sacrifices made to break that cycle.
Annie Oakley runs the Tansey brothers out of town when they return as grown men and attempt to romance her, but her suspicions about their criminal past prove justified when they attempt to rob the bank while the deputy is away. When Annie circles back to town and catches them in the act, the brothers discover that her affections may run deeper than they realized—and that underestimating a sharpshooter with a grudge was their biggest mistake yet.
