Straight Arrow #33

From his earliest days, Straight Arrow has shared an unbreakable bond with the creatures of the wild—and when the outlaw gang known as the Purple Mask captures him in a brutal bank robbery, that bond becomes his salvation. Wounded and left to die in the scorching Giants Oven Desert, the Comanche war chief must rely on the animals he's befriended to survive long enough to track down his captors to their hideout in Powderhorn Canyons. With Fury at his side and the wild itself fighting alongside him, Straight Arrow prepares to settle accounts with the murderous killers who underestimated their prey.

Sinister forces conspire to destroy the Comanche tribe when a murder is pinned on Young Falcon, the chief's son, leading to his imprisonment at Fort Danger—but a jailbreak orchestrated by hidden enemies threatens to spark a devastating war between tribes and soldiers alike. Straight Arrow must race against time to uncover the truth behind the scheme and prevent the massacre that Jennings, the corrupt Indian agent, has set in motion. With tribal blood ready to spill and the army poised to attack, only the mighty warrior can expose the real culprit and save his people from destruction.

When a Sioux tomahawk shatters Wolfpaw's treasured bear-stick medicine charm during a raid, the warrior finds himself paralyzed by superstition—convinced his broken luck has stripped him of all power to fight or hunt. Red Hawk must rescue their captured friend Singing Doe himself, but realizes Wolfpaw's real enemy isn't the Sioux; it's the grip superstition has on his heart. Together with an unexpected ally, Red Hawk devises a daring plan to show Wolfpaw that true strength comes from within, not from a piece of carved wood.

When Straight Arrow appears to betray his lawman allies and join forces with the outlaw Reb Jackson and renegade Apache Flat Nose, the frontier gossip mill roars to life—but the Comanche war chief is playing a dangerous game of deception to locate two kidnapped children held hostage by the criminals. As Straight Arrow inches deeper into the outlaws' trust, a betrayed posse member threatens to expose his true allegiance, forcing him into a desperate final confrontation in a remote canyon hideout. Can the great warrior maintain his dangerous cover long enough to rescue the Baker boys, or will his double-dealing catch up with him?
