Cheyenne Kid #53

The Cheyenne Kid discovers that a sacred white buffalo is driving the Comanche tribe toward war against the settlement at Willow Bend, incited by their medicine man's claims that the beast is a sign from the gods. Determined to prevent a frontier war, the Cheyenne Kid infiltrates the Comanche camp and devises a dangerous plan involving the white buffalo itself—one that will test his courage and skill against impossible odds. This eight-page Western adventure puts strategy and nerve against superstition and tribal fervor.

Those who understand the desert's ways may yet survive what those who ignore them cannot.
