* MistakenIdentity: ''Gunsmoke'' #13 has the villains confuse Chet Fairchild for a man they swindled a ranch from due to a distinct pair of guns.
* NewOldWest: Despite the Old West aesthetics and general lack of technology, it seems like the series is set in the then-modern day of the late 1940's, given references to the Theory of Relativity and other things.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: These are purple, skeletal monsters borne of black magic, who can only be killed by silver bullets or staking.
* ParanormalEpisode: The Masked Marvel spent most of his time fighting regular criminals and bandits, except for the final two issues, where he fights a vampire and a sorcerer, respectively.
