Origin[]
When Spurs Jackson and his Space Vigilantes are taken to Mars by Martian invaders led by Korok, Queen Thula is forced to abdicate her throne.
Talking with Thula afterward, Spurs discovers it was because Korok used Spurs and his ranch hands Strong Bow and Hank Roper as evidence he had conquered Earth. Spurs is infurated at Korok's deceit, as is Hank when he overhears the conversation. Hank goes to attack the palace with his sixguns, but an invisible shield protects the guards from all metal projectiles. This includes the plutonium guns Spurs brought along.
Strong Bow shows up to assist with his bow, firing a flint-tipped, wooden-shaft arrow to kill the guard. Hank subdues another guard with his lasso while Spurs rushes into the palace with his gun. The guard at the throne room door is holding a weapon as well, and is standing behind a one-way electronic curtain, leaving Spurs defenseless and open to the guard's weapon.
Strong Bow appears, firing the gun out of the guard's hand with an arrow. Spurs overcomes the guard and enters the throne room. He challenges Korok's right to the throne, the latter telling Spurs to face him unarmed.
Korok nabs Queen Thula.
Spurs discards his weapon. Korok brandishes his own gun, which Spurs uses his bull-whip to cause Korok to drop. Hank shows up to assist Strong Bow in disposing of the remaining guards. In short order, Queen Thula is restored to the throne. Grateful to Spurs Jackson for his assistance, she makes him Prime Minister. She invites him to sit beside her on her throne.
