☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories. In "The Gift Horse," Wyatt Earp pursues outlaws and uncovers a scheme involving Jason Greener, who has paid for the assassination of Earp and his deputies; however, the plot is revealed and Greener descends into madness, vowing to kill Earp and Luce himself. In "Maverick Marshal" and its continuation "The 1 Way," bank robbers Luster and Robin are caught by Earp after they're spotted at a bank, leading to a gunfight in an alley where the criminals attempt to escape by hiding in a box labeled "PINA CO."
When Cynthia Burris's meek fiancé Jonathan Clark arrives in Tombstone from Philadelphia, the toughs she's been threatening in his name see an easy mark—but the dude surprises everyone by issuing a three-o'clock ultimatum that sends the hardcases scrambling. Wyatt Earp watches the tension build on Toughnut Street and offers Clark a bluff that might just save his skin when the real trouble starts. It's a clever twist on who's toughest when the guns come out.
When a conman named Jason Greener schemes to eliminate Wyatt Earp by hiring a gunslinger and his gang, he puts a plan in motion that backfires spectacularly—framing the very men he paid and turning them against each other. Earp finds himself caught between two sets of criminals, each one playing into Greener's trap while the marshal works to untangle the web of threats, double-crosses, and hidden motives. It's a tense battle of wits where the real enemy may be closer than anyone realizes.
Wyatt Earp walks a razor's edge as marshal of Abilene, caught between townspeople hungry for the business of wild trail crews and respectable citizens demanding order—a balance that shatters when Smiley Ardon and his rough-and-tumble drovers clash with the law. Earp stands firm despite the town turning against him, convinced that taming the chaos is the only way Abilene can build a real future, but his resolve is tested when hired killers enter the fight.
Maverick Marshal sets a trap for the outlaws Luster and Robin after they rob the Bank of the West, pursuing them through town only to find himself caught off guard. When the criminals vanish into thin air, the Marshal must think like a schemer to deduce their escape route and corner them for a final reckoning. It's a tight game of wits and grit on the frontier, where one lawman's quick thinking becomes the only way to bring two cunning owlhooters to justice.
Wyatt Earp accepts a job tracking the killer-outlaw Maurie Wade after the Cattlemen's Association writes with an offer, but when Frank Silman—head of the association—provides him with a seemingly perfect stallion for the trail, Earp finds himself betrayed and cut off in hostile country. With the odds stacked against him, the frontier marshal must survive an ambush and uncover the conspiracy that put him in the crosshairs.
