A Western adventure comic that turns the notorious real-life outlaw into a folk hero wandering the Old West. The cover says it best: "To speak out against the Brand Brothers was to stake out a claim for yourself on Boot Hill...Vicious sidewinders who'd as soon drygulch a man as drink a second cup of coffee..." They don't write 'em like that anymore. After a young kid takes a shot at him, Billy gets involved in protecting his beautiful widowed mother from the outlaws who killed her husband for his gold mine. Mitzy Malloy, a female Marine, thinks a military training film will be her big break into showbiz, but the subject is camouflage. The Brand Brothers; Dead Mans Gold; Mitzi Malloy: The Best Film on Camouflage; There Is a Man; Gunsmoke Justice. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
