Apache Trail #1
"Apache Attack!" kicks off with Joe Dexter and his wife Debbie camping in the eerie ghost town of Salt Flats, where Joe’s grandfather, the late Sheriff Dexter, appears as a spectral warning—only to be dismissed as a hallucination. When two armed bank robbers, Louie and Noonan, arrive and trap the couple in their camper, the ghost returns with a surprising twist, confronting the criminals in a tense standoff that ends with the outlaws unconscious and the police arriving at dawn. Ed Moritz’s art, inked by the Iger Shop, brings the haunted setting to life, while Ken Battefield’s cover captures the tension of the moment—this 1957 10-cent classic blends Western suspense with supernatural intrigue.
