Straight Arrow #14

Straight Arrow — billed as "The Original Indian Hero of Radio Fame!" — rides hard in this 1951 adventure from Magazine Enterprises, with cover art by Fred Meagher bringing the action to vivid life. The cover shows Straight Arrow astride his golden palomino, sweeping a distressed young woman up onto the horse amid a village of tepees while a group of armed warriors closes in from below. Meagher's bold colors and dynamic composition make this tenth-cent issue a fine snapshot of the frontier excitement that made the character a radio sensation before he leaped onto the comics page.
