☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features two Western stories: "Captured by the Osages!" starring Straight Arrow, in which the hero is taken prisoner by Osage warriors after a card game gone wrong leads to a man losing his ranch; and "Red Hawk Special," in which Red Hawk and his companion pursue a panther and renegade Apache who have been raiding the tribe, stealing traps, food, and horses. The Osage story involves a scheming gambler named Jeb Morris who uses lucky cards to swindle a rancher named Steve Adams, while the Red Hawk narrative showcases action across snowy mountains and plains as the protagonists attempt to stop the Apache and the great cat before they cause further harm.
When the Comanche maiden the Fawn disappears near the high rocks, Straight Arrow sets out to find her—only to stumble directly into an Osage ambush that leaves him a prisoner with his prized bow shattered around his neck. With the war party taking him deep into enemy territory, Straight Arrow must rely on cunning, his loyal horse Fury, and an unexpected rescue to escape capture and save the Fawn from the same fate.
When Rick Harmon wins the Diamond 10 Ranch from Jeb Morris in a high-stakes poker game, he fulfills a four-year promise to reclaim his family's land—but trouble follows fast. Mysterious robberies plague the ranch, and someone takes repeated shots at Steve Adams, forcing Straight Arrow to don his Comanche disguise and uncover the truth behind the marked cards and mounting danger. As evidence and suspicion point in two directions, only careful detective work and the framed winning hand can separate the cheat from the falsely accused.
Red Hawk and Bigfoot return from a desperate hunting trip, burdened with enough meat to save their people, only to find themselves pursued by desperate warriors from other tribes—hungry, desperate, and now turned enemy. With the land itself turning against them, their journey home becomes a fight for survival.
Straight Arrow faces a double threat when both an Apache renegade named Tonnay and a massive golden panther known as Thag invade Comanche hunting lands—and when the war chief tracks down the renegade, young Tioga finds himself cornered by the deadly cat. With the renegade using the boy as leverage and the panther closing in, Straight Arrow must use all his cunning and skill to save his young friend before it's too late.
