Straight Arrow #17

When Mimbreño Apache raiders led by Chieftain Linero kidnap Dr. Eben Whiteley, the respected Indian agent of the Comanches, Straight Arrow gathers his warriors to pursue the abductors into their mountain stronghold. Outnumbered ten-to-one and racing against time before the Apaches execute their captive, Straight Arrow devises a daring plan to turn the tables on the raiders using their own tactics. With only the cover of darkness, fire, and the strength of his trusted horse Fury between them and certain death, he charges into the Apache encampment to rescue the doctor and lead his people to safety.

When Straight Arrow discovers three masked train robbers forcing a dynamiter to help them hide stolen loot in a remote bat cave, he must rescue the captive and stop the outlaws from sealing the cave shut with dynamite—and the two of them trapped inside. Outnumbered and forced to dig his own grave, Straight Arrow hatches a desperate plan using the very fuse meant to entomb them both, turning the cave's own inhabitants into an unlikely means of escape.

In "The Canyon Killers!", Red Hawk and his devoted friend Bigfoot venture to a mysterious chasm in the southwestern frontier, only to be ambushed by Lipan warriors who capture them both for torture. With the village warriors away on a hunt and Red Hawk's usual charm failing to win help, an unexpected ally steps forward to rally the tribe and mount a daring rescue. It's a tale of loyalty tested, pride humbled, and the kind of courage that comes from the heart—not always from the strongest muscles in the camp.

When the renegade Comanche Bad Eye steals the sacred tomahawk during a tribal festival, Straight Arrow pursues him into a deadly trap—one that Bad Eye has designed with fiendish precision, complete with a razor-sharp pendulum that inches lower with each swing. Now Straight Arrow must escape certain death, recover the sacred artifact, and confront his sworn enemy before Bad Eye and his band of outlaw warriors can strike at the heart of the Comanche nation during the sacred fire dance.
