El Capitan's Enemies

Larry & Stretch #161

by Marshall Grover

Outnumbered was putting it mildly. The two battle-hardened Texans, a dispirited gunsmith and three small-time felons fled the Rodriguez calaboose and joined forces with a vengeance-hungry Arkansas sodbuster to unite in a common cause - to rid the southwest of the murderous band led by a megalomaniac. The enemy was formidable, seemingly invincible. And still the challengers kept up the pursuit, all the way into Mexico for a fight to the finish.
