Western Hero #102

Tex Ritter arrives in Wolf Creek to investigate a string of suspicious stagecoach accidents plaguing the local coach line, but what begins as a string of bad luck soon reveals itself as something far more deliberate. As Tex pieces together evidence and gets closer to the truth, he'll have to stay one step ahead of saboteurs determined to keep their scheme hidden and their identities secret.

Big Arrow and Little Arrow swap tall tales about flying and hunting in this lighthearted frontier romp, complete with exaggerated claims, mistaken words, and a finale involving bumps on the head. It's the kind of good-natured bickering that proves these two can't stay mad at each other for long, no matter how many insults fly.

A condemned prisoner makes an unexpected request of the warden in this quick-witted Western tale—one that might just buy him some unexpected time. When faced with his final meal, our stubborn inmate chooses something that won't be available for half a year, turning his execution date into a waiting game with a punchline that lands perfectly.

Tom Mix races against the clock when the notorious outlaw Pancho Ramirez kidnaps Sheriff Mike Shaw in a small Mexican town modeled after Tom's own democratic community of Dobie, demanding the mayor surrender his government or face Shaw's execution. With only seventy-two hours to act, Tom adopts a disguise and deliberately allows himself to be captured, gambling that a chance encounter with his imprisoned friend will lead to their escape. It's a high-stakes gamble where one mistake means the end of both men—and the fall of a fledgling democracy.
