Synopsis for "Last Stage to Oblivion"

Kid Colt and the Arizona Girl escort a stagecoach into the town of Wilcox. They defend the coach from a group of Apache warriors. When they arrive in town, they decide to settle down at Keller's Hotel. In the hotel lounge, Kid Colt recognizes several customers including Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickock and the Rawhide Kid. He approaches Rawhide, who acts defensively, and doesn't appear to recognize him. When Rawhide prepares to attack Colt, Arizona Annie withdraws her gun and shoots him. They discover that Rawhide (as well as the other patrons) are actually shape-shifting aliens known as Skrulls. They race outside and the Skrulls assemble to kill them. Annie shoots down several with her shotgun, while Colt manages to take out a few more with sticks of dynamite. After ferreting out the Skrull threat, the two outlaws ride off into the sunset.

Rawhide Kid #17

Several men on the Overland Stage notice the Rawhide Kid and Nightwind racing up alongside them. Fearing that he may be a robber, they open fire on him. The Kid shoots their guns out of their hands without causing any harm. Bringing the coach to heel, he explains that he merely needs a ride. Once inside, he meets a scared old woman and a man who is taking his son to a specialist in St. Louis. As luck would have it, a real posse of outlaws hold the stage up. The Rawhide Kid leaps from the cabin and disarms the thugs with several quick shots from his Colts. He then puts his guns away and finishes them off with some good old fashioned fisticuffs.

Reprint of the 4th story from
Rawhide Kid #25

A convicted rail robber named Brett Brown has recently been released from prison. Unwilling to lead a respectable life however, he immediately returns to his old tricks. He boards a rail car and inquires about sitting near the mailbox location. The conductor tells him that the mailbox car is off-limits and is guarded by a rail detective. Brett spies a well-dressed mustached man, and instantly deduces that he must be the undercover detective. Finding an unkempt hobo named Silent Jefferson, Brett conspires to rob the train. He directs Jefferson to distract the detective, allowing him time to rob the train. However, it turns out that Jefferson is actually the rail detective and arrests Brett Brown. The well-dressed mustached man was simply a passenger en route to New York City.
