"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
Pretty much a routine story about U.S. Marshal who rides into Dogtown, finding it without law and under the thumb of badman Moose Keppler and his men.
A couple of good action scenes in here, and a couple of neat characters, especially Moose's right-hand man Skull.

The last panel says it all.
Some things were indeed better in the old days.
