Billy the Kid #56
Billy the Kid drifts into Mustang Springs searching for peace and quiet, only to become embroiled in a conflict with a troublemaker named Tuttle who he defeats in combat. The issue also contains a backup story, "The Hostiles," which depicts early American conflicts with Native Americans, including a duel between Chief Black Hawk and white troops, and an account of the Sauk tribe's resistance against white settlers. The main story concludes with Billy escaping a gang of bushwhackers after defending a rancher's property from cattle rustlers.
