In "Bull Burton," a 1952 Western Outlaws and Sheriffs classic, the notorious gunslinger Smead pushes his legend to the edge after shortening his shotgun to a .44 and making a brutal show of his quick draw. With his reputation soaring and his confidence unshaken, he faces wave after wave of relentless challengers—each one testing the limits of his skill and sanity. Art by Al Bellman brings the tension to life, while Bill Everett’s cover captures the raw intensity of the showdown.

In the dusty frontier of 1952, Shotgun Smead—his modified shotgun a deadly extension of his ego—proves he’s the fastest gun in the West, but glory doesn’t come without a price. As a relentless wave of challengers swarms him, each more desperate than the last, Smead finds himself cornered not by bullets, but by the weight of his own legend.
