Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
Kid Montana rides to Fort Yuma after receiving a desperate plea from Major Benteen, whose daughter Judy has vanished along with a stagecoach and three soldiers. Following scattered clues through the desert, Montana discovers the wrecked stage and the bodies of the fallen men, then is ambushed and captured by El Lobo, the bandit he once imprisoned. Now held captive, Montana faces a twisted plan involving Judy’s fate and a brutal test of courage against El Lobo’s henchman, Gordo the Bull.
In a dusty Mexican cantina, a confident American with a roll of cash draws wary eyes, only to be warned about the dangers beyond town limits. As he rides north toward the border, a Mexican bandit closes in—only for a surprise Texas Ranger to emerge, revealing the money was a clever trap to catch him red-handed.
In the rugged Rockies, Kid Montana joins big-game hunter Jason Craig and museum researcher Diane Carson on a quest to find the legendary Snowman, a creature whose existence Craig is determined to prove. As they set up camp and begin their search, mysterious tracks and eerie sounds hint that something—or someone—is watching them from the snow-covered peaks.
