"Shadows in the Canyon" is a gripping tale from the 1956 Television Favourites Annual, featuring the volatile Wood brothers whose lives take a sudden turn when a telegram from the East announces their father’s death. With the inheritance split in favor of the eldest, a scheming lawyer and a disreputable cousin conspire to claim the family fortune—leaving the brothers to confront both betrayal and the shadows of their past. Art by Mike Arens brings the dusty canyon town and tense family drama to life, while Walt Howarth’s cover captures the story’s brooding atmosphere.
