Kid Montana #44
This issue contains two stories. "The Witness" follows Kid Montana as he happens upon a bank robbery in progress and becomes an unwilling target of the criminals; pursued by a gang member named Crowe, he must evade capture while hiding evidence of stolen money he discovered. "The Ghost Riders" depicts Kid Montana caught in a nighttime gunfight with armed riders who attack him; he manages to escape but is later ambushed by the same gang, leading to a dramatic confrontation involving a lariat trap and a horse. The issue also includes "Slidell Sheriff: Doc Does His Duty," a text story about Doc Holliday and his efforts to use his intellect rather than his guns to maintain law and order in the Old West.
