☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Straight Arrow" follows a frontier narrative in which Jim Carter risks his life in dangerous locations, prompting investigation into his motives. A Cheyenne warrior encounters a bear attack while protecting his tribe and makes a blood oath with the animal, swearing never to harm it in gratitude for sparing the Cheyenne's life. Two nights later, multiple riders gallop toward the Cheyenne camp on horseback. The issue also includes a mail-order advertisement section promoting novelty toys and tricks.
Straight Arrow races to stop a runaway train hurtling toward a cliff’s edge in Indian Gulch, where the tracks end before reaching town. After saving the passengers, he learns that the mayor’s brother, Benson, is working to protect the railroad from sabotage—only to uncover a shocking betrayal among the town’s so-called guards.
In the aftermath of a battle where Straight Arrow defeats the Arapaho, a hidden trail of gold-tipped arrows points to a deeper conspiracy. When a prospector is murdered and the blame is framed on Straight Arrow, he must flee the law and uncover the true killer—Mort Black, a crook who escaped custody and now manipulates events from the shadows.
Straight Arrow tracks Jim Carter after he recklessly confronts outlaw Bull Grogan and later risks his life trying to stop a runaway nitro-laden stagecoach. Though Carter’s bold actions seem foolhardy, Straight Arrow learns he’s driven by a need to prove himself to Randy McDowell, the girl he admires, after being mocked for his size and courage. The story follows Carter’s determined, if misguided, efforts to earn her respect, with Straight Arrow quietly watching over him.
Red Hawk, banished from his tribe after being falsely accused of stealing ponies, must unravel the truth when he discovers that the real thieves are Cheyenne warriors disguised as Crows—using Dog Running’s crest to avoid suspicion. As he tracks down the impostors, he confronts the dangerous secret behind the dog-faced raiders and the promise he made to a man he once saved.
