With townsfolk vanishing and shadows closing in, Lincoln teams up with the Ghost Rider to uncover a secret hidden in an abandoned mine—only to face a deadly collapse that changes everything. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Dick Ayers’ dynamic art and Syd Shores’ inks, this gripping tale of legacy and justice features a pivotal moment in the Ghost Rider’s story. The cover by Herb Trimpe captures the tension perfectly, a 25-cent Western gem from 1971.
In the dusty frontier town of Red Creek, Federal Marshal Lincoln Slade arrives just as his brother, the Ghost Rider, is ambushed and taken. With a string of missing townsfolk and a sinister presence lurking in the shadows, Lincoln teams up with Sheriff Ben Brooks and the enigmatic Natalie Brooks to unravel the mystery. As they track the kidnapper to a forgotten mine, the ground gives way—trapping the Ghost Rider beneath the rubble. In his final moments, Carter Slade passes the mantle of justice to his brother, setting the stage for a legacy reborn.
In "null," a young man with a quiet resolve steps between two warring families on the dusty frontier, hoping to end years of bloodshed. When the daughter of one clan and the son of the other find themselves drawn to each other, their unlikely connection becomes the fragile thread that might finally mend what’s been torn apart.
In "Triple Cross!", Gunhawk finds himself rescued from a deadly ambush by the elusive Juan Jesus Reynaldo de Santiago—only to discover the man he’s just saved is a wanted outlaw. Torn between duty and loyalty, Gunhawk must decide whether to turn in Santiago or risk everything to protect him, especially when the truth behind Santiago’s past begins to unravel. With Baron Bardo looming in the shadows, the line between justice and vengeance blurs in a final, desperate act of redemption.
