Rocky Lane Western #85
The main story, "The Marshal Won't Draw," depicts a confrontation between Rocky Lane and a mysterious figure who has turned yellow, refusing to draw his gun despite being challenged. The accompanying text feature "The Law Is Here to Stay!" chronicles the historical background of frontier lawmen and tells the story of Howard Donald Benson, a lawyer who became a judge in Harper City and worked to establish order through legal means rather than violence. A secondary comic strip shows Rocky Lane investigating Duke Miller's suspicious behavior at a local bar, discovering that Miller is hiding Rink's gang and warning of trouble coming to town.
