Outlaws of the West #62
Outlaws of the West #62 The issue contains two Western stories. In the first, Joe—a man trying to bluff his way out of trouble on the Rio Bravo—sells a cattle herd to James J. Maples under market price, leading to his arrest by the sheriff and eventual hanging by outlaws who track him down. A posse arrives too late to save him. In the second story, an outlaw named Lew Arnett, exhausted from fleeing on horseback, seeks shelter at a homestead where a woman named Sally tends to his worn mare; despite his desire to settle down and start a family, Arnett realizes he cannot escape his outlaw status and rides away, while law enforcement officers led by Carl Wilshot track him to the homestead.
