Straight Arrow #37

Red Hawk finds himself separated from his warriors and unarmed during a brutal clash with the Pawnees, forced to seize the cursed warclub of Lone Dog—a weapon that has brought doom to every warrior who's wielded it. As he faces overwhelming odds and certain capture, Red Hawk must decide whether to risk the shaman's curse or face torture at his enemies' hands. Will the ancient spell claim another victim, or does fate have a different plan for the young Cheyenne warrior?

When Straight Arrow tears apart his fine new blanket to fashion a rescue rope, he sets in motion a series of remarkable acts of survival and heroism that will echo through the years. As an elder recounts the blanket's storied past to two quarreling boys—from saving a captive from quicksand, to signaling for aid, to mapping a route that brings cavalry reinforcements to trapped soldiers—the worn fabric becomes far more than cloth. By story's end, the children learn just whose lives this humble blanket has touched, and why it deserves far more respect than any knife.

Straight Arrow finds himself captured by an outlaw gang led by the mysterious Judge James Foster, who's determined to exploit the Comanche warrior's knowledge—and his dual identity as the rancher Steve Adams—to locate a hidden fortune. When the gang's cruelty and greed spiral out of control, Straight Arrow and his companion Packy must fight their way out of the secret cave where the outlaws have discovered a treasure that changes everything about their plans for murder and robbery.
