Straight Arrow #26

This 1952 Magazine Enterprises issue puts a clever spin on the classic Western wanted poster — a $5,000 reward bulletin outside the Sheriff's Office declares Steve Adams sought "Dead or Alive," but Straight Arrow himself has defiantly stamped the word "NOT" over the charges of rustling and murder. To the right, the title hero rides hard on horseback against a vivid sunset, ready to set the record straight. Fred Meagher's clean, expressive linework gives the cover real punch, making this an eye-catching entry in the series.
