Sunset Carson Comics #1

When news of a gold strike at the abandoned mining town of Ghostown spreads, Sunset Carson joins a wave of hopeful prospectors heading to the site—only to discover that the land's new owner, H.J. Blackstone, has trapped the miners in a scheme of exploitation and starvation wages. As Sunset tries to rally the workers and confront Blackstone's grip on the town, a deadly confrontation leaves him accused of murder, facing a rigged trial where the deck seems stacked impossibly high against him.

Tom Smith, a former New York cop newly elected marshal of the tough Texas town of Abilene, declares that no guns will be worn within town limits—and proposes to enforce the law with nothing but his bare fists. When a notorious gunhand named Big Hank refuses to surrender his weapons, Smith proves he means business with a decisive display of hand-to-hand combat that sets the tone for his unconventional tenure as lawman.

When the Union Pacific Railroad establishes Cheyenne as a major division point in 1867, the frontier town transforms overnight into a wild, lawless boomtown—attracting gamblers, con men, and trouble-seekers from across the West. As the settlement grows into a rough-and-tumble hub of saloons and gunplay, Sunset Carson and the cattle drivers begin to stake their claim in this volatile new territory. A humorous clash erupts in the chuck wagon when Gus decides to teach the boys a lesson about insulting his cooking.
