The Bedside Mad #6 (88-893)

In "Outer Sanctum!", Marshall Kane faces a moral crossroads as he weighs his departure from town, confronts a fellow lawman in a tense showdown, and dismantles a web of corruption tied to Miller—handling the final reckoning with surprising restraint. Written by Harvey Kurtzman and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Jack Davis, this 1979 issue delivers a gripping, character-driven tale where tension builds not through spectacle, but through quiet resolve.
