Billy the Kid Adventure Magazine #5

In "Revenge Fever," Billy the Kid rides out at night to find a boy consumed by hatred for Overland Mania Fred, who killed the boy's father, and learns the boy has murdered Fred in revenge. Billy encounters Jean Burnett and Rick Hibs, who visit him in jail to discuss the shooting; Billy insists he did not kill Jeff Burnett, the banker, and never shot anyone in the back, though the judge doubts his innocence and sentences him to jail. Mr. Hibs offers Billy a gun to escape that night, but Billy refuses, determined to prove his innocence rather than flee. The issue also includes a full-page advertisement for the Jowett Institute of Physical Culture's muscle-building courses.
