"Dead Man at Powder Spring" is a gripping early Western tale from 1938, written and drawn by Ed Moore in his distinctive, rugged style. When Constable Morgan is ambushed at a remote desert watering hole and his horse stolen, he turns to a young Aborigine for help in tracking down the outlaw. The story unfolds with quiet tension, grounded in the harsh landscape and the uneasy partnership between two men from different worlds—illustrated with sharp, expressive art by Ed Moore, and a cover by Ed Moore that captures the stark, sun-scorched mood of the tale.
