Straight Arrow #46

Fred Meagher's cover for this 1955 Magazine Enterprises issue puts Straight Arrow front and center — feathered headband, fringed shirt, and reins in hand as he rides hard alongside a speeding stagecoach, dust and energy crackling beneath the horses' hooves. The scene captures the Western spirit that made this series a treat for mid-decade readers, and the four stories inside — including "The Rope Hand," "The Fence Stealers," "Man with a Scar," and "Doom Trails the Treasure Seekers" — promise a genuinely packed adventure anthology. A satisfying snapshot of frontier comics at their most spirited.
