Hey, here's a Western hero for
modern times!
Who is this
Six-Gun Smith?
Heck, he sounds like a
hell of a guy!
In
Rainbow, he gets involved in a crooked card game:
I think this is the "
quick trigger finger" part of Six-Gun Smith's personality!
Since murdering skunks is, well
technically illegal, Smith flees the lynch mob. He encounters
Tom and his unnamed sister. He saves
Sis's life, and...
But--and doesn't this
always happen--the posse shows up during dinner!
Ah, yes, "
likker," blunting the resolve of posses since 1847!
Here's that quick trigger finger again...
Well, that's a
heapin' helpin' of bodies. Whatever shall we do?
Yeah...just leave your land?!?
Ah yes,
murder everyone in town and abandon your underwater mortgage! I think this is the "
carefree" part of Six-Gun's legacy!
"
Newer, freer life" means
run away from your legitimate debts and 5 counts of homicide, I guess!
Let that be a lesson to posses and debt collectors!! Don't cross Six-Gun Smith!!!
From Western Crime Busters #1 (1950)
