Review/plot:
This is a six page story where Hawkeye and the Two-Gun Kid stumble into the Purple Man's lair, and are forced to fight each other.

They manage to get out of his control thanks to Two-Gun's horse.

After defeating the Purple Man, Two-Gun rightly asks how they can be sure they've defeated him and not just been mind-controlled into thinking so. Hawkeye's response is unsatisfactory.

I don't know much about Mike Nasser. Nice art.

The title of this story is a play on Zane Grey's classic Western novel "Riders of the Purple Sage".
