"The Durango Kid" follows a vengeful masked gunslinger tracking down the evil Mordo, whose crimes killed the Durango Kid's father and forced his mother and sister into exile; Red Hawk, a brave Native American warrior, swears an oath to solve the mystery of a green feather and avenge his people against Mordo's gang. The issue also includes stories featuring Straight Arrow, Red Hawk, and Red Mask, as advertised on the cover.
When Colonel Deegan arrives at Fort Despair spoiling for a fight with the wrong tribe, Steve Adams—the rancher with a secret—must transform into the legendary Straight Arrow and race to prevent a catastrophic frontier war. With only a golden arrow, his noble palomino Fury, and the truth on his side, Straight Arrow must convince both the Colonel and the peaceful Kiowas that the real attackers are the Osages, before bloodshed erupts across the territory.
When attorney Jeb Calvert confesses to murdering Sheriff Banner, he hires two rough gunslingers named Spike and Mike for protection—but the Ghost Rider has already pledged vengeance, and fear becomes Calvert's worst enemy. As the spectral nemesis closes in, using tricks of psychology and illusion to amplify the murderer's guilt and terror, Calvert finds no escape from the consequences of his crime. The Ghost Rider knows that a guilty mind is the most devastating weapon of all.
In "Manhunt!", the Durango Kid races against the clock to stop Waring from destroying a Union Pacific trestle, knowing a train will cross the bridge soon. With the rails under threat and danger closing in, the Kid must outwit a cunning foe before it’s too late.
Red Hawk's father is murdered by men wearing mysterious green feathers, and when a shaman named Mordo manipulates Chief White Bull into casting out the boy and his family, Red Hawk swears an oath to uncover the truth behind the killing. Following Mordo in secret, he discovers a conspiracy involving the Green Eagle Society—and realizes the shaman himself may be orchestrating a plot against the chief. Red Hawk must expose the conspiracy and prove his family's innocence before it's too late.
