Straight Arrow #48

Fred Meagher's cover for this 1955 Magazine Enterprises issue captures Straight Arrow astride his rearing palomino, bow raised and ready, as a large party of mounted warriors sweeps across the background in a sweeping show of force. The bold red-and-yellow title treatment and that striking arrow motif running through the logo give the whole image a real sense of kinetic energy. With "The Treasure of Don Carlos" as the featured story, this issue promises the kind of frontier adventure that made Straight Arrow a reliable treat for western fans.
