☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Gunfire!", a young man returns to his hometown years after his father’s murder, driven by a single purpose: to bring the man who killed him to justice. Written by Colin Dawkins and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Jack Davis, this gripping tale from EC’s Two-Fisted Tales #36 (1954) blends raw emotion with the stark realism that defined the era. The cover, by John Severin and Will Elder, captures the tension of a moment that echoes through time.
In the dusty frontier town of 1954, the sudden crack of gunfire cuts through the night—only to end in tragedy, as Marshall Ben Slaughter falls to a band of ruthless bank robbers. Years later, Jack Slaughter, the Marshall’s son, returns under a new name, his face hardened by time and purpose, carrying a warrant to bring justice for his father’s death. With the help of his uncle Matt and a growing web of secrets, Jack must uncover the truth behind the man known as Scarface Bill Gutherie—before the past claims another life.
In the heat of a brutal campaign, General Aulus faces a stubborn British resistance and warns Emperor Tiberius Claudius Caesar that victory may cost too many Roman lives. With time running out, the Emperor and the enigmatic Posides hatch a daring, lightning-fast plan—winning the battle in just one day. Amid the chaos, soldiers Caractcus and his brother Cattigan stand ready, their fates tied to a strategy that could turn the tide.
