In "The Screaming Eagle Ambush!", Dan finds himself stranded at Fort Desolation when a traveling circus fails to arrive—only to discover they were diverted by Comanche warriors and forced into performing. Posing as a juggler, he uses his flair with flaming torches to ignite teepees and create a diversion, escaping capture only to be imprisoned in a cage and used as a target. When a sudden arrow strike frees him, he makes a daring break for freedom. Later, back in the circus tent, Dan takes center stage—his juggling skills now a weapon in a game of survival. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Howard Sherman, with a dynamic cover by Gil Kane, this 1959 issue delivers a thrilling blend of action, deception, and unexpected heroism.
