☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Straight Arrow" follows a frontier narrative in which Jim Carter risks his life in dangerous locations, prompting investigation into his motives. A Cheyenne warrior encounters a bear attack while protecting his tribe and makes a blood oath with the animal, swearing never to harm it in gratitude for sparing the Cheyenne's life. Two nights later, multiple riders gallop toward the Cheyenne camp on horseback. The issue also includes a mail-order advertisement section promoting novelty toys and tricks.
When outlaws sabotage a speeding locomotive with a dead engineer at the throttle, Straight Arrow and his golden stallion Fury leap into action to save the train—and the passengers aboard who are meant to prove that rail travel to Indian Gulch is safe. But stopping the runaway iron horse is only the beginning: Benson, brother of the town's Mayor Benson, enlists Straight Arrow to help defend the railroad construction itself from a coordinated campaign of dynamite, ambush, and sabotage. As attacks mount despite armed patrols, Straight Arrow must hunt down the source of the threat before the outlaws can finish what they started.
Straight Arrow rides into battle to defend his Comanche people from the Arapahoes, but a stray gold-tipped arrow from his quiver falls unnoticed—and the escaped outlaw Mort Black recognizes it as his chance for revenge. Black plants one of Straight Arrow's arrows at a murdered prospector's side, framing the great warrior and forcing him to flee the soldiers sent to capture him. Now Straight Arrow must track the real killer across treacherous terrain and through a deadly desert, with Black trying everything to stop him, including turning the Arapahoes against him—all while the evidence points straight at our hero.
When a young man named Jim Carter keeps throwing himself into dangerous situations—confronting a desperate outlaw alone, then racing to stop a runaway stage laden with explosives—Straight Arrow decides to follow and uncover what's driving such reckless courage. As Carter's attempts to prove his nerve to the girl he loves, Randy McDowell, continue to put his life at risk, the masked rider discovers that sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is learn who they really are.
Red Hawk is branded a thief and banished from his tribe after ponies go missing from the Cheyenne herd, but he suspects the real culprits are using a disguise to frame him. Determined to prove his innocence, Red Hawk follows a trail of clues that leads him to an unexpected ally and the truth behind the mysterious "men with dog faces."
