The 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.

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.
