But someone else is also hunting those murderers, someone who may have a claim to the title of Apache Kid! And little do they know that another man hunts them all. There are those who will make one last run, one last fight, to stand free and tall in the mountains under the wide blue Apache Skies!
* THE WRITER SPEAKS: "This is a chance to show violence even more realistically," explained Ostrander. "Why is that a good thing? Because showing it sanitised makes it too easy, makes it more glamorous. I want the violence to feel brutal."
