The issue contains two stories. "The Search" follows Wyatt Earp tracking a man who had driven him and his family out of Tennessee ten years prior; the pursuit culminates in gunsmoke and regrets when Earp finally corners his quarry. In the second story, a dangerous gunman named Moss Glenn, who has changed his identity to avoid detection, settles on a small farm with his wife. When an entertainer recognizes and attempts to blackmail him, Earp arrives to arrest Glenn, who surrenders peacefully and thanks the marshal for the opportunity to live an honest life, promising to call if he ever needs help.

Mountain Man

5 pp · Western-Frontier

When a fierce mountain man named Bigfoot Mace saves Wyatt Earp from a raging grizzly bear, the two form an unlikely alliance—but Mace's violent rejection of civilization and the constraints of town life soon puts the marshal in an impossible position. As Earp tries to uphold the law and bring Mace to justice, he grapples with a debt of gratitude and the tragic reality that some men simply cannot survive being caged.

The Search

5 pp · Western-Frontier

Breck Heath's decade-long search for his fiancée—stolen by Shoshone raiders years ago—finally ends when Wyatt Earp helps him locate her in the tribe's camp, but the reunion takes an unexpected turn when Heath discovers she's built a life with the Shoshones that she's unwilling to abandon. Earp must guide a man consumed by ten years of bitterness through a reckoning with the life his lost love has actually chosen, and the painful truth that some searches end not with rescue, but with letting go.

Wolves Gather

5 pp · Western-Frontier

A gang of vengeful brothers—the Graftons—arrive in Dodge intent on making Wyatt Earp pay for jailing one of their kin, but they're cunning enough to know they can't beat him in a fair fight. Rather than face him head-on, they plot to wear him down through intimidation and fear, only to find the marshal has a few tricks of his own to turn their own game against them. Earp outmaneuvers his would-be assassins by using an old ordinance and their own impatience to corner them into revealing their true intentions.

Fangs of Destiny

3 pp · Western-Frontier

A young warrior from the hills carries deep hatred for white men—hatred born from tales and fear of strangers—until a rattlesnake's fangs nearly claim his life and a frontier scout intervenes with unexpected compassion. In "Fangs of Destiny," a single night of mercy and care transforms the young Indian's understanding of the palefaces he'd sworn to kill, setting the stage for an alliance that would define his future among the tribes.

Day of the Gunman

5 pp · Western-Frontier

When Marshal Earp encounters the legendary gunman Glen Morgan in Dodge City, he discovers the notorious killer has hung up his guns and taken a new identity—Moss Glenn—to settle into an honest life with his wife Monica on a ranch. But when a trio of ruthless gunslingers arrives in town and targets Monica, the former gunman faces a test of his resolve: can he protect what matters most without reaching for the gun he's sworn never to wear again?
