Originally Aired: April 7, 1957 In Gunsmoke #261, “Rock Bottom,” Van Tover’s quiet ranch life is shattered when a deadly figure from his past returns to Dodge after twelve years. Once a quick-tempered gunman, Van gave up his weapons to raise a family—until Largo Greeland, a vengeful gunslinger with a grudge, tracks him down. Torn between protecting his loved ones and confronting an old enemy, Van reclaims his pistol for one last showdown. Marshal Matt Dillon must intervene before vengeance claims more lives, in a taut drama of fear, pride, and deadly resolve.
