Straight Arrow #41
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue opens with a story titled "The Weapon Maker," in which Straight Arrow encounters a Cheyenne tribe's specially skilled craftsmen who create superior weapons and are targets for attack by rival tribes. After discovering a doctor's kit that interests him, Straight Arrow rides to a dead camp where he finds warm trails and evidence of recent activity. As a group of emigrant wagons passes through the area, Straight Arrow pursues the trail, following clues left by weapons and environmental disturbances to track those responsible for threatening the tribe.
Straight Arrow races against time to warn a wagon train of settlers headed for Pizen Pass, where Crow renegades and white outlaws have planned a devastating ambush. Using cunning and courage, the great Comanche must slip through an outlaw ring of guards and reach the caravan before it's too late.
When Crow raiders kidnap Buffalo Dog, the Cheyenne's master weapon-maker, Red Hawk devises a daring plan to infiltrate their camp and turn the tables on the captors. While Buffalo Dog crafts weapons under duress, Red Hawk secretly sabotages each one from within the tepee—and when the Crows finally test their new arsenal against the Cheyenne, the results speak for themselves. It's a clever tale of ingenuity triumphing over brute force in the Old West.
When a stagecoach robbery goes catastrophically wrong, a vial of plague germs falls into the hands of outlaw Red Bart Simmons—and the doctor who was transporting it warns that if it breaks, nine out of ten people across the territory will die. Straight Arrow takes up the relentless pursuit, racing against time and nature to track down the stolen vial before it can unleash devastation on the frontier. But as the chase intensifies across canyons and into the path of a Kiowa attack on an emigrant wagon train, the Comanche war chief discovers the germs are far closer to disaster than anyone realized.
