Straight Arrow #2

Straight Arrow leaps from the radio waves onto the printed page in this 1950 Magazine Enterprises adventure, inviting fans to "see your favorite radio hero" in vivid four-color action. Fred Meagher's cover captures a fierce ground-level struggle, with Straight Arrow grappling a gunman and hurling him skyward while a decorated black horse charges dramatically behind them and a dropped revolver lies in the grass below. It's a punchy, kinetic scene that sets an exciting tone for "The Peril of the Pioneers!" — and at a dime, it was an easy sell.
