“Smokescreen Sheriff!”

In "Smokescreen Sheriff!", Lt. Dan Foley trades his frontier pursuit of stolen rifles for a dangerous new mission: guarding an archaeologist at a remote mesa. When Comanche warriors attack and force a retreat, the archaeologist’s stubborn determination to recover his "most precious discovery" pulls the team back into the fray. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Howard Sherman, this 1955 Western thriller builds tension with a race against time and a surprising find—one reindeer bone that could rewrite history. The cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella captures the dusty, urgent mood of the tale.

Lt Dan Foley is pulled of his current assignment, finding rifles stolen by Indians, and ordered to protect an archaeologist digging at a mesa. Comanches arrive and the heroes run. But the archaeologist insists on returning for his "most precious discovery", so they crawl back. Dan is captured and fights until the 5th Cavalry arrives. And they find the stolen rifles. The discovery that almost cost their lives? A reindeer bone that proves "the Ojibway Indians crossed the Humboldt River before 1250!"
