He spends time hunting buffalo and adventuring for the next two years, during which time he meets Bat Masterson. //Note: The Earth-4 Wyatt Earp is largely based upon the 1931 book Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal by Stuart Lake. Historically, Wyatt Earp was charged with two lawsuits and a charge of horse-theft in early 1871, and he disappeared from history until his reappearance in Wichita, Kansas, in October, 1874, after which time his career as a frontier marshal really began. Historians have speculated about Earp's activities during that time, suggesting he was hunting buffalo during those years and acted as a lawman in Ellsworth, Kansas, in 1873. But all known evidence refutes this idea. The Wyatt Earp on Earth-4 is, of course, completely heroic and innocent of any charges against him.//

"Jingles" Jones, who rode a horse named Joker. //Note: Although historically Hickok was the marshal of Abilene, the figure of Jingles Jones is completely fictional.

Gary confronts Major Valdemir, who reveals that he killed Gary's parents before he uses his own mystical abilities to gouge out Gary's left eye, while Valdemir himself has every bone in his body broken and is crippled for life by Gary's power. Battling demons that emerge from a pit leading from Hell, the Sentinels are each killed in their ultimately successful efforts to close the gate and prevent a giant demonic menace from reaching Earth.
