Western Killers #63

Squint-Eye Dan Crosset crosses paths with a clever woman who propositions him to partner in a scheme involving a young gambler with more money than sense—but when Dan heads toward Cheyenne with an associate named Crusty Wagoner, their plans take a dangerous turn involving gold, a stalled train, and a desperate gambit to keep their operation under wraps. This 1949 frontier tale weaves cunning partners, hidden agendas, and high-stakes action into a nine-page whirlwind that'll keep you guessing where Dan's loyalties truly lie.

When the Civil War erupts along the Kansas-Missouri border, three sons of a local judge—Cole, Jim, and Bob—join Southern guerrillas under the notorious Quantrell, determined to strike back at Federal forces. After the war ends and peace settles over the land, Cole's appetite for violence refuses to die, and he transforms his brothers into something far worse than soldiers: the leaders of an outlaw gang that will ride through the West leaving blood and death in its wake. This is the dark tale of how the Younger brothers traded the battlefield for a life of robbery, murder, and lawlessness.

Born into the violent aftermath of the Civil War, the boyish but deadly John Wesley Hardin earned his notorious reputation across the Texas frontier through a string of gunfights and narrow escapes—first killing a man at just fifteen, then finding himself repeatedly caught between the law and his own inability to walk away from trouble. As sheriffs close in and schemes like the "badger game" test his wits, Wes must navigate a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that threatens to catch up with him before he can flee to Mexico.
