    Cover photo of Gene Barry. Stories by Gaylord Du Bois. Art by Jerry Robinson. Based on the Gene Barry TV Western (1959-61), which was inspired in turn by the real Bat Masterson, the derby-wearing, sword-cane-carrying sheriff of Dodge City. Bat discovers gold on his property, but a jealous neighbor accuses him of lying and gets the town to believe it. Bat joins forces with former Marshal Wyatt Earp to take down shotgun-wielding outlaws. Blacksmith "Softspoken" Smith is appointed deputy, and must resolve a fight between a cowboy and a sheep herder. Art by Jerry Robinson, co-creator of Robin and the Joker for another "Bat" title. Plus a historic look at The Hole-in-the-Wall and old-town Austin, Texas. Gold Fever; "Softspoken" Smith: The Deputy; Posse Puzzle; Showdown in Dodge City; Landmarks of the Old West: The Hole-in-the-Wall; Roaring Towns of the Old West: Austin, Texas. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
