☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Showdown at Rawhide Gulch!", The Kid takes on a perilous mission to deliver a delicate Chinese case to Captain Morgan, a task made all the more treacherous by the wild, unforgiving frontier. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with crisp, dynamic art by Howard Sherman—both in pencils and inks—this Western Comics classic captures the tension and grit of the Old West. The cover, a striking piece by Gil Kane with inks by Jack Adler, perfectly captures the stakes of a journey where every mile could be the last.
In "Showdown at Rawhide Gulch!", Matt Savage finds himself drawn into a tense standoff when two men—one a grizzled outlaw named Red, the other a nervous stranger named Hal Dawson—both claim to be the long-lost heir to the Slagle cattle ranch, vanished in an Indian raid two decades prior. With the real heir’s identity still buried in the past, and the town divided between loyalty and greed, Matt must untangle the truth before blood is spilled in the dusty streets of Rawhide Gulch.
The Wyoming Kid takes on a delicate mission: delivering a fragile Chinese case as a wedding gift for Captain Ezra Morgan, a task made perilous by the unforgiving frontier and the journey’s uncertain dangers. With Racer watching his back, the Kid must navigate treacherous terrain, where every mile could be the last for the precious cargo.
