| Comic Story | The Last Ride of the Masked Mavericks (8 pages) |
| Synopsis | The Marshal reckoned there must be a reason why the masked mavericks singled out Eagle Springs for their ruthless raids, but no one would agree until he revealed a clue to the shooter who used deadly silver bullets. |

| Synopsis | The public inspector is killed by the dam builder when he discovers that the builder used inferior materials on the dam. |

| Content | Genre: Detective-mystery | Characters: Jinx Jordan (crime reporter); Ginny (reporter); Larry (newsboy); Davito (crooked contractor); Tom Shane (dam inspector); Davies (editor); Blackie (crook); Frank Collins (engineer) |
| Notes | This artwork is very similar to Charles Sultan, as can be seen in Blazing West #18, Buffalo Belle. Sultan also had the Jinx Jordan story in Crime Reporter #1, so it is likely that this is him too.
JVJon at DCM has credited this story to Warren Kremer, but compared to a signed Kremer story, Frisco Mary in Crime Must Pay the Penalty #3, that is not very likely as Kremer's work looks more like Elias or Robbins, with more inking than this. |
