# Indian Fighter #8 The issue presents two interconnected stories. The first involves a runner carrying a message during a colonial conflict—an ambushed Indian is intercepted by hostile forces intent on preventing the English from receiving warning of a French attack. Meanwhile, Wild Bill Hickok pursues a separate thread: a friendly Blackfoot Indian has been murdered for gold, scalped by an ambushed Sioux, and Little Eagle—the Indian youth who learned to fly from Chief Red Cloud—seeks vengeance against those responsible. Bill infiltrates a Sioux encampment, discovering the scalps were obtained through treachery orchestrated by the unscrupulous agent Ben Bryson and the villainous Tall Snake, who have been supplying rifles to the tribes. The stories converge as Bill works to expose the conspiracy and restore justice while navigating the dangerous frontier politics of competing tribal interests and settler ambitions.

Joaquin Young Great White Chief of the Wilderness
8 pp · Western-Frontier

In 1821 St. Louis, a scrappy fighter named Ewing Young—known to some as Buck—catches the eye of Captain William Becknell, who recruits him for a dangerous trapping expedition into Apache territory. When tragedy strikes and a fellow trapper is killed in a raid, Young devises a cunning plan to turn the tables: he allows himself to be captured, then uses guile and gunpowder to outmaneuver the Apache warriors and save his men. From that bold victory onward, Young's restless spirit drives him across mountains and rivers, facing down wild country and hostile forces as he carves his legend into the frontier.

Huron Death Trap
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Magic Arrow, a master archer with shafts that curve through the air like birds in flight, discovers a dying runner bearing urgent news: enemy Hurons have intercepted a message meant for the English General and are leading his army straight into a French ambush. Falsely imprisoned for trying to warn the commander, Magic Arrow must escape the stockade and track down the treacherous spy to save the English forces from the deadly trap. With only his bow, his arrows, and his wits, he races against time to prevent disaster at Oneida.

Little Eagle and the Sioux Wolf Men
7 pp · Western-Frontier
Death Rode the Trail
7 pp · Western-Frontier

Wild Bill Hickok rides deep into hostile Sioux territory on a dangerous scouting mission for General Sheridan, uncovering a massive gathering of chiefs plotting a coordinated attack on Fort Hays and the Union Pacific Railroad. Discovered in the enemy camp, Hickok must use all his wits and his trusted horse Black Nell to slip through the encirclement and race back to warn the fort before the strike comes. A tense frontier tale of espionage, narrow escapes, and one scout's determination to turn the tide of an Indian campaign.
