Summaries from the publisher.

Issue 1

Elusive Amnesty 1 is subtitled, "Layers of Misfortune." It is 176 pages.

''Lom Trevors sends for Heyes and the Kid. He needs them in Cheyenne, so they can meet with the Governor. It appears their long wait for amnesty is finally over.

But when the Governor is shot, and the Kid sees who the assassin is - but refuses to tell Heyes - things suddenly change from joyous to tragic. Arrested for the crime, Heyes and Curry are hurried off to the Wyoming Territorial Prison and Lom is unable to help them.

While Heyes is spared the worst, the Kid faces a brutal guard who wants nothing more than to break his spirit. If Curry would just confide in his best friend and partner they might stand a chance of surviving, but the Kid refuses, pushing Heyes further and further away. Luckily, Heyes won't be denied, and that quicksilver mind of his quickly turns to plans of escape.

Issue 2

Elusive Amnesty 2 is subtitled, "Angel in the Whirlwind." It contains 137 pages and won a 2003 FanQ award.

''Heyes and the Kid have escaped from prison, but now they have to find someplace to hole-up for a while, or Curry isn't going to make it.

Lom has an idea about where they can go, but once there, Heyes thinks the lawman must be crazy. But with the Kid lying near death, Heyes has no choice but to trust a sharp-tongued woman, who makes his blood boil. She sets Curry's blood on fire, too, but not at all in the same way.

But even in the midst of worry there is some good news. The Governor is healing, and Lom is doing all he can to keep them safe.

Now, if they can just avoid the posse that's looking for them long enough for the Kid to heal, they might stand a chance of surviving, and if they survive, they still have a shot at that elusive amnesty.

Issue 3

Elusive Amnesty 3 is subtitled, "Tomorrow's Gift contains 95 pages.

''The Kid finds Heyes after Dixon's attack, but the former leader of the Devil's Hole Gang is in bad shape. But Curry has more to worry about than his injured partner, the woman he loves is still being held by Dixon.

The Kid heads out to find Rachel before Dixon can kill her, leaving Heyes behind. Curry should have known that wasn't going to sit well with Heyes.

Against Lom's better judgment, he and Heyes set out to back the Kid up, and a good thing, too. When Curry finds Dixon and Rachel, he's ready to kill the deputy.

With Rachel back home, and Heyes slowly healing, the Kid is forced to step up and answer some hard questions, from the Governor and from the Marshall. But time and love are strong medicines, and things slowly work themselves out, although who is to say it's for the best?''
