Outlaws of the West #21
"Big Shot" follows a lonely gunslinger who dreams of friendship and belonging. When a famous gunman offers him the chance to be his successor, the protagonist accepts, believing he has finally found companionship. However, he soon discovers the harsh reality: the gunman has used him as a decoy while stealing money, and his newfound "friend" views him only as a tool. Realizing that the price of being "the big shot" is eternal loneliness and caution, the protagonist is left to grapple with his isolation and the betrayal of his hopes for friendship.
