"Ghost Ship" kicks off in 1940 with a pulse-pounding mystery as Bill, fresh back from Cat-Tail Canyon, opens a chilling letter from Dawn Parsons—she’s vanished, and a ransom of $50,000 is the only way to bring her home. Written, drawn, and colored by Everett Blake in a rare full-creator effort, the story unfolds with a moody, noir-inspired edge. The cover by Chuck Mazoujian captures the eerie tension, hinting at a haunted voyage with a ship that seems to sail beyond the known world.

When Bill Target returns to town from Cat-Tail Canyon, he’s handed a desperate letter from Dawn Parsons—her sister’s been taken by the Wells Gang, and the ransom demands fifty thousand dollars. With Steve Casey and the un-named town sheriff rallying behind him, and the postmaster Dave already whispering rumors, Bill must decide whether to trust the town’s fragile peace or risk everything to bring Dawn home.
