The Hawk #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features two main Western stories. "Six-Gun Showdown: Buffalo Hunters on the Warpath—Blood Brothers" follows The Hawk as he pursues the outlaw Reb Sutton, a notorious killer leading a band of desperadoes engaged in cattle rustling and murder across the territory. A U.S. Marshal sends The Hawk to stop Sutton's rampage, leading to a confrontation near Armadillo Flats. "Blood Brothers" depicts Apache tribes struggling to survive as buffalo herds migrate northward into the plains, leaving the Mescalero Apache people facing starvation; the story centers on tribal conflict when a chief must decide whether to allow his hungry people to hunt, constrained by "the Great Spirit's" law.
Billy Venero hears of Apache raiders threatening the cow ranch forty miles away—and the young woman he loves, his sweetheart Bess, is there. Racing against time and danger, he sets out on horseback to warn them, determined to save her no matter the cost. This frontier ballad captures the desperate ride of a cowboy willing to risk everything for the girl he loves.
John Slaughter, a formidable figure of the Old West, stands as the man who brought order to the lawless frontier town of Tombstone, Arizona. When the Apache leader Geronimo and his warriors threaten his land, Slaughter makes a bold stand that earns the respect—and fear—of even the most dangerous adversaries. This 1954 tale captures the legendary lawman's reputation as one of the most powerful figures of his era.
The town of Armadillo Flats is overrun by Reb Sutton and his ruthless outlaw gang—until the Hawk arrives to restore order and safeguard $60,000 in cattle money that the townspeople entrust to Preston Chadwick's ranch safe. When the Hawk grows suspicious of Chadwick's eagerness and discovers him signaling the bandits, he begins to unravel a double-cross that puts both lawman and outlaw in danger. It all comes down to a final reckoning as the Hawk faces off against those who would prey on the innocent.
