When a mysterious killer marked only by a serpent sign begins stalking the tribe, Chief Black Bison's warriors grow fearful of the legendary spirit Kinowa—until a quiet young man adopted into the tribe proves his courage by slaying a great bear and rescuing Rising Moon from certain death. Now christened Red Feather and elevated to full warrior status far sooner than expected, the young man sets his sights on a far deadlier prey than any animal. This gripping tale from Cowboy Western Comics #39 reveals the hidden bonds that tie a tribe together and tests whether raw courage alone is enough to face true darkness.
