Once again, it's getting really exciting in the two Wild West stories included here from May's early creative period. "In the Distant West" and "The Prince of the Pale Faces" offer everything that is characteristic of a true May: brave heroes of the old West and their dark adversaries, adventurous chases and battles, cunning and counter-cunning, not to mention a good dose of humor - all set against the magnificent backdrop of the prairies and mountain ranges. Comments and afterwords by Christoph F. Lorenz place the stories in May's overall work in a knowledgeable and entertaining manner. The title is also available as an e-book.
