In "I Challenge the Army!!", The Kid finds himself in a town ruled by the corrupt Gabe, who cheats him out of his hard-earned money. With the help of the town’s few honest men, he stands up to Gabe’s tyranny—only to face a twist when Gabe’s thugs dress as soldiers to scare them off. The Kid sees through the ruse and fights back, exposing the deception and ending Gabe’s reign of deceit. The governor, grateful for the Kid’s courage, acknowledges his service. Art by Russ Heath, with a striking cover by John Buscema.
