From the publisher

In comic-strip format, this action-packed western drama is complete with cattle rustling and kidnapping, a stampede, a holdup, and a thrilling chase. From start to bang-up finish, Calico the Wonder Horse outruns and outsmarts the double-dyed villains – and, of course, saves the day! “Complete with lightening bolt and clouds of churned-up dust, for its tale of good and evil in the wild West.” –Publishers Weekly
