The Fast Gun #12

In "I Dare You to Draw," the reclusive gunslinger Clay Sanders—once known as Utah Kid—tries to leave his violent past behind by settling on a ranch under his real name. As he courts Molly Forbes, the townsfolk remain wary of his peaceable ways, especially his refusal to carry a gun. When his old enemy Hank Jelks arrives and forces him to draw, Sanders proves his skill without bloodshed, earning the respect of the community he once feared to join.

In the dusty aftermath of a bank holdup, the Abilene Kid lies dying—saved not by justice, but by a sheriff who believes in second chances. Five years on the rock pile harden him into a man with no home, no name, and only one lead: the outlaw mentor who abandoned him. When he finds refuge with ex-Sheriff Cotrell, the past catches up fast, and loyalty is tested in the only language this frontier understands—gunfire and sacrifice.
