☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When a Gunslinger Gets Mad," the Silver Sidewinder uses hypnotism to turn the Kid into his unwitting accomplice, forcing him to aid in a string of bank robberies. When the Sidewinder demands the Kid kill Sheriff Barton, the Kid breaks free from the spell and fights back. Written by Gary Friedrich and Ron Whyte, with art by Ogden Whitney and lettering by Sam Rosen, this 1975 issue delivers a tense showdown in the dusty streets of the Old West. The cover, penciled and inked by Gil Kane, captures the moment of rebellion with striking intensity.
In "When a Gunslinger Gets Mad," a simple request for milk in a dusty frontier saloon ignites chaos, turning the bar into a powder keg of tension. The Kid, unflinching and quick on the draw, clears the room with calm precision—only to leave the bartender with a surprising new policy.
In "Guns of Greed," Matt Slade rides into a town on the edge of chaos, where reform is under fire and a single gunshot threatens to unravel everything. As the body of Anson Clinton lies cold and the reform committee trembles, Slade follows a trail of deceit that leads back to Miles Anders—once a quiet man, now a shadow with a greedy eye on the land. With Sandy, Cass Bork, and Sam caught in the crossfire, the frontier’s justice hangs in the balance.
In "Wanted: The Two-Gun Kid," the Silver Sidewinder, a cunning hypnotist with a flair for the dramatic, terrorizes frontier towns with his bank heists—each one a flawless performance of mind over matter. When the Kid is captured and forced to serve as an unwitting accomplice, he must find a way to break free from the Sidewinder’s spell before he’s made to harm Sheriff Brett Barton, Boom-Boom Brown, or Thunder.
