Great Western #11
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains four Western stories: "Straight Arrow," "Calico Kid," "Red Hawk," and "Durango Kid." The "Red Hawk" story shown depicts a tale from the Cheyenne people in which a magical bow capable of bending itself was used to protect the tribe from buffalo stampedes and enemy threats, with the narrative explaining how any warrior who attempted to bend the bow and failed would become enslaved. The other stories feature various Western adventures involving frontier lawmen and gunfights, with the "Calico Kid" sequence showing confrontations with villains and the "Durango Kid" section depicting cavalry action near San Canyon.
When ruthless outlaw Sleet unites the territory's worst criminals in a coordinated ambush, they finally manage to gun down Straight Arrow in a deadly trap—but the fearless Comanche's mysterious return, pale and otherworldly, leaves even his loyal friend Packy questioning whether he faces a ghost or something far stranger. As Straight Arrow pursues his attackers from beyond the grave, Packy races to rally the federal troops and uncover the truth behind this spectral vengeance.
When a series of mysterious attacks threatens to destroy the Pony Express, the Durango Kid volunteers as a rider to restore public confidence—and to draw out the killers responsible. Facing a coordinated ambush on the frontier trail, Durango must outwit ruthless saboteurs who will stop at nothing to undermine the vital mail service. This thrilling 1954 adventure captures the grit and gunplay that defined the legendary mail route's place in the taming of the West.
When a captured Cheyenne warrior named Red Hawk is forced to attempt bending an legendary elkhorn bow—a test that would either make him chief of the Blackfeet or condemn him to slavery—he refuses to accept defeat, training relentlessly while plotting his escape. After discovering an ingenious way to harness the bow's impossible strength, Red Hawk races to warn his people of an impending Blackfeet raid, putting his solution to the ultimate test.
