Written and illustrated with historical precision, this story captures the gravity of duty and the complexity of justice in the wild reaches of the western frontier.

In "Chapter III -- Indians and Outlaws," Mountie Daniel Davis takes a bold stand, guiding a group of Assiniboines toward a reservation with quiet determination. Meanwhile, Inspector Samuel Steele and his small force face down a furious mob of white settlers, testing the limits of law and order on the frontier.

In "Chapter IV -- Unrest and Rebellion," the quiet tension of the frontier builds as small bands of Mounties attempt to hold the line through courage and presence alone. When the situation spirals beyond their reach, the arrival of militia becomes the decisive turn—though not before the stakes have risen dangerously high.

In "Chapter V -- Patrolling the Prairies," the quiet vastness of the western frontier comes alive as a small band of Mounties moves swiftly across the prairies, their presence a steady force against rising tensions and unexpected dangers. From quelling disputes to responding to emergencies, their duty stretches beyond law enforcement to protecting the fragile communities they serve.

In "Chapter VII -- Into the Far North," the relentless pursuit of order in the frozen wilderness sees Mounties venture deep into the Arctic Circle, mapping uncharted terrain and building vital communication lines through extreme conditions. As they face the harsh climate and isolation, their duty becomes a test of endurance and resolve.

In "Chapter VIII -- The Modern Mountie," the rugged duties of Canada’s iconic law enforcers extend far beyond the frontier, blending frontier grit with modern missions. This 1959 tale follows a Mountie vessel making history as the first to navigate the Northwest Passage in both directions, showcasing the force’s reach from frozen tundra to the challenges of national security and scientific exploration.

In "Chapter IX -- Manhunt!" from Classics Illustrated Special Issue #150A, newly arrived trapper Albert Johnson quickly becomes a menace, sabotaging others' gear and turning the frontier into a lawless battleground.
