Two-Gun Kid #55
When the Kid was Marked for Murder!
At a local saloon in the town of Tombstone the Two-Gun Kid is challenged by Natchez Krull who wants to make a reputation for himself by outdrawing the Two-Gun Kid. The Kid refuses and orders a glass of milk from the bar. Natchez pushes the subject, but the Kid continues to refuse. Natchez then tries to fight the Kid, causing the milk to spill on the floor. Furious at being provoked, the Two-Gun Kid decides to draw against Krull, however the milk on the floor causes the Kid to slip, making it look like the Two-Gun Kid was slower at the draw. Natchez takes a shot and wounds the Kid's arm. Natchez then shoves the Kid out of the saloon, warning him that he will be killed if he shows his face in town again. The Kid decides to ride out of town but intends on beating Krull in a gunfight once his arm heals.
About a week later, Natchez now has control over the whole town and orders people to get off the street. When he spots an old man who apparently didn't hear him he goes to hassle the old man. However it turns out to not be an old man at all, but the Two-Gun Kid in disguise. The Kid explains that he hid out in town until his arm healed and them challenges Natchez Krull to a duel. Two-Gun proves to be the faster draw this time around and shoots the guns out of Natchez's hands and the hat off his head. Natchez then begs for his life and promises to renounce using a gun. The Kid then sends him out of town, telling him that word of his defeat will spread.
