☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Return of the Fadeaway Outlaw!", the elusive outlaw makes good on his boast, testing the limits of persistence as Pow-Wow and his deputy Hank race to bring him in before Hank’s wedding to Sally Ann. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino, this 1959 Western Comics classic features bold storytelling and sharp, expressive visuals, with Gil Kane and Joe Giella delivering a striking cover that captures the tension of the chase.
The Fadeaway Outlaw, known for his uncanny ability to vanish, makes a bold claim that he can stay free forever—but when Warden Keene and Deputy Hank Brown set their sights on him, the stakes rise fast. With Hank’s wedding to Sally Ann just around the corner, the clock is ticking, and the outlaw’s next move could either end in surrender or send the whole town into chaos.
In "The Riddle Robber!", the Wyoming Kid and the townsfolk of Copperhead Gulch find themselves caught in a strange game when an outlaw known only as Slick terrorizes the town—offering a peculiar bargain: no robbery if the townspeople can solve his riddles. Flashbacks to a past encounter with a man named Bronco Jackson hint at a deeper mystery behind Slick’s curious code of honor.
