Red Ryder Comics #61

When King thinks he sees his old friend as a ghost, he follows the figure into the wilderness—only to find a second man dressed just like the first, deepening the mystery. This eerie encounter in the woods sets up a tense, unexplained twist in a story that’s equal parts adventure and quiet suspense.

In "Ted Spirits Chet Out," Ted, disguised as an Indian, quietly reaches out to his imprisoned friend Chet, setting a clever trap that knocks out the villain Dobie. With Chet impersonating Dobie to keep Selden from suspecting, the two escape from the cliff’s edge using a rigged rope, then make their way to the horses, where Ted tends to Chet’s wounds. As Ted signals for Sandy and Billy using the Kiyotee howl, he sends them to the wolf-den hide-out with a plan: Sandy will bring supplies while he rests, and Billy shares Doc’s paper with Ted, who fears it could spark violence in Robbers’ Roost.
