Carmody is, on the surface at least, just another trail-wise adventurer. Sometimes he is presented as an outlaw, sometimes as a gun-for-hire. His view of the frontier is harsh and unforgiving, a place where a man with any sense looks to his own safety, and to hell with everyone else!

1: THE SLAVERS

Traders in Indian slaves did big business in the New Mexico territory. The Mexicans had been slaving Indians for hundreds of years, and though it was supposed to be against the law, ruthless men were still getting rich on human misery with the help of crooked judges and greedy politicians.

The big ranchers wanted cheap labor and slaving was an open secret in the Territory, with the law and the Army looking the other way.

Carmody knew it was none of his business. He just wanted to free one Indian family - he owed them his life - and then ride out. But it wasn't that simple.

The slavers held all the aces, and thought they could run him out.

Carmody showed them how wrong they were.

2: THE KILLERS

Wounded, and barely managing to stay one step ahead of a posse, Carmody came up with the perfect cover: acting sheriff of Salter City, a quiet little town in the middle of nowhere.

But things didn't stay quiet for very long.

A green-eyed blonde named Sally had run away from her kill-crazy husband, one-time Civil War raider Sam Thornton, and straight into the arms of the notorious Eldredge clan, the meanest bunch of sheriff-hating wool hats who ever shot a man in the back.

Caught between these two factions was a dangerous place to be ... as Carmody quickly found out!

3: TOUGH BULLET

Carmody wanted a good time in New Orleans. With eleven thousand in stolen money in his pocket, he figured to enjoy some good liquor and bad women before he headed back to Texas.

But it didn't work out that way, and he found himself framed for a brutal murder.

The slickers who robbed and framed him thought Carmody would cut and run, but they didn't know Carmody. He works hard to get money and it makes him mad to take the rap for someone else. Slugging and shooting his way through the hellholes and back alleys of New Orleans, he taught the slickers an important lesson.

Don't mess with Carmody ... it'll get you killed!

4: TALL MAN RIDING

The Greenwoods made a bad mistake when they threw down on Carmody while he was walking away from a nice quiet bank robbery.

They made a worse mistake when they put a rope on Carmody and dragged him.

They should have finished the job.

They should have killed him and then shot him some more, to make sure. Because Carmody wasn't about to give them another chance.

The Greenwoods were the toughest gang of killers in the Indian Territory, but when Carmody started after them they were as good as dead.

5: HANG TOWN

Carmody rode into the Sangre de Cristo hills looking for a girl. The girl was worth $10,000 if he could get her away from the Garrison bunch, the meanest killers in the whole Southwest.

Carmody knew what the Garrison bunch would do to him if he failed. That didn't bother him. What bothered him was the fat man who hired him and the girl he was supposed to rescue. There was something about then that wasn't right.

But for $10,000 he was willing to live with it.

Or maybe die for it.

6: SCREAMING ON THE WIRE

Riding north from Sonora to hire out his gun, Carmody didn't quite know what the trouble was about, and didn't give a damn. The money was good and it looked like it was going to be a nice dirty old-fashioned range war.

That's what Carmody thought, but that was before he saved the runty kid's life. After that things began to get complicated - and murderous. Tex McCarty was the little killer's name, and he was a whole mess of trouble in one small man.

He brought death to everything he touched, and the more Carmody thought about it, the more he knew there was only one cure for a man like that...
