Longarm 070: Ogallala

One of the older episodes,actually from October '84.This story has a bit of everything from Cowtowns,Saloons,shoot- outs,owlhoots,poker games,Soiled Doves,Piano Players,Jail Breakouts ,Counterfeiters,and even a Lawman gone bad. I found the first 3/4 of the book a good western read,but the last bit too much of a convoluted explanation of the why and wherefore of a "Whodunnit". The cover is a bit odd as the counterfeiter and his printing machine doesn't appear in the book. Also, I think the artist seems to have gone too far with his imagination,as I don't recall Longarm ever owning ,or likely to own,a scarlet red vest. Also,if you pay much attention to the artwork on the covers ,it seems that Longarm all of a sudden looks about 10 years younger in #70 than in # 69. Sometimes I wonder if the Artists even read the story,or just does it from a short summary.
