Plot synopsis by Chronicle Chamber

The year is 1867 as The Ghost who Walks rides into a Ghost Town in Texas, USA. But it’s not a ghost that has townsfolk all riled up, it’s something with a little more… bite. The Phantom has sworn to fight injustice in all its forms and a woman being held against her will definitely qualifies as an injustice. However, is there more to this woman than meets the eye? Will the Phantom ever meet her again or will it be one of his descendants many miles away? Let’s just hope it’s not by the light of a full moon…
