Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #25
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. In "Jail Break," outlaw Lance Colby, alias Jack Fischer, is arrested and claims he was wrongly accused of a bank robbery he didn't commit; however, Wyatt Earp discovers Colby has unloaded shells from his gun and suspects foul play, eventually determining that Colby plans to escape jail and frame Earp for it. The second story, "The Indian and the Artist," is a text feature with illustrations discussing the history and culture of Plains Indians, particularly the Sioux, their horsemen traditions, and artwork by Frederic Remington depicting Indian life and warfare during the conflicts with American forces.
Wyatt Earp allows a prisoner to escape, knowing the man will lead him straight to two other fugitives hiding out with stolen loot. When the trio reunites at their hideout, Earp closes in for a final confrontation—but not before the escaped prisoners turn on each other, forcing a showdown that hinges on trust and betrayal. A clever tale of a marshal who uses cunning instead of force to reclaim his escaped charges.
"Bulldog" Sam Drake, a relentless U.S. Marshal known for never forgetting a criminal's face, is left for dead on the frontier—only to be rescued and nursed back to health by a ranching family. When Drake's memory returns, he recognizes the man he's been recovering under as Lance Colby, an outlaw from fifteen years past, now living under an assumed name and claiming to have left his criminal life behind. As Drake prepares to bring him to justice, he must reckon with the man's pleas of redemption and the debt he owes to those who saved his life.
Wyatt Earp has his eye on Albert Tybell, a bank teller with a shadowy past—and when a brutal blizzard sweeps through town, Tybell finally makes his move, robbing the bank and fleeing into the howling storm. With frozen hands and snow-blind eyes, Earp pursues the fugitive into the wasteland, knowing the weather itself may be his only real opponent.
Wyatt Earp stumbles upon a bank robbery in progress and is framed for the crime by the bank manager Wayne Rafter, who uses a rigged trial to keep the lawman locked away while he empties the vault. With the help of a friend, Earp must prove his innocence and stop Rafter before the crook makes his escape with the town's money.
