Indian Fighter #1

When Lance Scott and Jake Larkin clash over a disputed rangeland claim before a government agent, the competition turns deadly—Jake secretly hires Bent-Nose and his tribe to ambush Lance during a race to the contested property. Trapped in Chief Black Dog's camp and facing a vengeance ceremony, Lance must use his wits to escape with Jake and survive the pursuit across open country. Walter Johnson's pencils and inks bring this frontier confrontation to life as Lance races against time, greed, and the consequences of Jake's murderous scheme.

A young runaway catches the eye of a fur trade captain in St. Louis and rides west to Oregon, where over the next decade he earns his reputation as one of the territory's toughest trappers through daring escapes, quick thinking, and an unshakeable nerve.

Penciled by Walter Johnson and inked by Ernie Fenner, this is the tale of a frontier legend who helped shape the American West.

Rance tracks her to a village where she's about to be sacrificed to their fire god, and he'll need all his wits and nerve to get her out alive before the tribe catches on to his desperate plan.
