☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Buffalo Bill #8 The issue contains two stories. "Arrows of Death" depicts a siege in 1866 when Sioux Chief Red Cloud and his sub-chiefs, Crazy Horse and High Back-Bone, led warriors against white invaders after the discovery of gold drove the Redman out of Montana. "The Living Dead" follows Buffalo Bill as he visits the Blackfoot tribe for a funeral of Chief Swift Deer's son, killed by a rattlesnake, but the proceedings are interrupted when a ghostly, mysterious figure—identified as the devil dog Lobo—appears and causes chaos, leading Buffalo Bill and the tribesmen into conflict as they confront the strange supernatural threat.
Buffalo Bill accepts a dangerous mission from the Army: rescue Margaret O'Neil, a young woman being held captive by the half-breed Louis Beal, a madman using her as a puppet "goddess" to incite Indian raids across the frontier. Facing relentless ambushes and Beal's ever-worsening traps, the legendary scout must navigate the Canadian wilderness and penetrate the tyrant's stronghold before his twisted vision of an American empire can spread further.
When gold rushes threaten Sioux hunting grounds in 1866, Red Cloud and his allied chiefs vow to drive white settlers from the Bozeman Trail—and Fort Phil Kearney becomes the flashpoint for an escalating conflict that pits cavalry against a massive gathering of tribal warriors. With soldiers caught between ambushes, hostages taken, and the fort itself under siege, the outcome hinges on whether reinforcements can arrive in time to break Red Cloud's stranglehold on the region.
Buffalo Bill visits his friends among the Blackfoot Indians to honor the funeral of Chief Swift Deer's son, but the ceremony turns to terror when two swathed figures rise from the burial platforms claiming to be the spirits of the dead, commanding the tribe to wage war against all white men. Unarmed and disgraced after challenging the supposed spirits, Buffalo Bill must uncover the truth behind these supernatural threats before the Blackfoot warriors march to bloodshed, all while racing against time and his own injured body.
When a hard-won peace between the Kiowa and Cheyenne tribes is shattered by a violent attack, Grey Wolf finds himself framed for treachery—and hunted by the very soldiers he's tried to protect. With his faithful companion Lobo at his side and White Dove caught in the hands of those who would use her to expose his secret lair, Grey Wolf must outwit the scheming forces bent on destroying both him and the fragile truce he fought to achieve.
