☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Straight Arrow #18 The issue contains two main stories. "Red Hawk" tells of a fierce warrior who hunts wild animals in the mountains, stealing furs and hides from other hunters; when Cheyenne hunters are killed and their catches stolen, only Red Hawk dares to pursue the thief into the dangerous mountain trails. The second story features Straight Arrow helping a young doctor treat Water Willow, the sick daughter of a Comanche chief; after successfully operating despite the language barrier and the chief's initial hostility, Straight Arrow must then track down and defeat a group of Comanche warriors who pose a threat to the settlement.
Straight Arrow discovers "Professor" Nick Morey's sinister outlaw school hidden in the badlands—a place where criminals are trained to outsmart the law itself. When the educated bandits attempt their biggest heist yet, Straight Arrow must use his wits and courage to stop them before their scheme claims innocent lives. The great Comanche warrior and his golden palomino Fury race against time to dismantle this dangerous operation once and for all.
When hunters Lone Eagle and Running Elk are savagely attacked by a wolf pack in the hills, Red Hawk suspects something sinister is at work—a man is hunting alongside the beasts, stealing furs and hides. Red Hawk accepts White Dog's challenge to prove the truth by venturing into the high country together, but quickly discovers his rival is far more dangerous than any wild animal he's faced.
When a paleface doctor arrives to treat the Comanche with modern medicine, the tribal medicine man Snake-Tongue plots against him—but a cholera outbreak that sweeps the village gives the young physician a chance to prove his worth. As Doctor Bennett races to save his adopted people, he'll need all his wits and Straight Arrow's help to stop a plague that modern science has only begun to understand.
When masked raiders strike a peaceful tribe under cover of darkness, stealing provisions and abducting the strongest braves, Straight Arrow and Packy track the mysterious attackers to a hidden camp—only to uncover a twisted scheme of revenge orchestrated by a woman scorned. Forced to choose between servitude and a deadly trial by combat, Straight Arrow must face "The Ugly One" and her twisted war against men to free those held captive. In this 1951 tale, prejudice and bitterness have spawned a rebellion that only courage can overcome.
