Notes[]

  • The Two-Gun Lil's appearance in Crack Western #82 was re-printed in Apache Trail #2. While the art is largely retained, changes to the story were made and, common with re-print stories, Lil is mistakenly called "Lil Adams" in one panel.
  • Differences from original story: Missy Lil Peters is Two-Gun Lil and carries a pair of revolvers. There is no brother George, and Rita and Lil aren't called sisters. Rita tries to shoot Lil over Sandy's death. Bush rips a piece of Lil's dress, and kills Sandy. Rita tries to shoot Lil dead, but runs out of bullets.
