On the forbidding desert planet of Gunsmoke, a sixty billion double-dollar bounty hangs over the head of Vash the Stampede, a pistol-packing pacifist with a weapon capable of punching holes in a planet. Every trigger-happy psycho in creation is aiming to claim Vash, dead or alive—preferably dead! Although Vash believes in nonviolence, he won’t go down without a fight. And when Vash fights, destruction is sure to follow!
