Instead of "Hi-yo, Silver," Ken directs his horse Tarzan to "Bite wind, Tarzan!" Corrupt lawyer Silas Crocker, seeking a lost Spanish treasure, joins forces with outlaw Gunsmoke, setting Ken on his trail. Crocker uses stolen money to frame Ken for Gunsmoke's crimes, then tries to burn down the jail with Ken in it. Jeeter has a talking horse, Ya-Ta-Ta, but the horse only wants to insult people, and worse than that, he's smarter than the cowboys around him. Poor Polly; The Outlaw Treasure Trail!, Part 1: Blazing Guns; Fool's Gold; Part 2: Undercover Danger; Jeeter: The Horse Trade; Part 3: Battle Against the Badmen. 32 pages, Full Color.

Bygone movie cowboy Maynard stars in offbeat stories that set this Fawcett book apart from run-of-the-mill Western comics. Instead of "Hi-yo, Silver," Ken directs his horse Tarzan to "Bite wind, Tarzan!" As the opening panel says, "Badmen have long plagued the old West, fighting with fang and claw against the law, gathering illicit loot! But a new kind of bandit leader arises, far more cunning and dangerous than before, using the inventions of science in his ruthless raids! Ken Maynard, heroic adventurer of the wild West, finds himself matching wits with Doc Daggard, mastermind badman of all time!" No improving on that, except to add that instead of a horse, Doc Daggard rides an elephant equipped with a Gatling gun! Sassy Sam; The Invasion of the Badmen!; Spiff and Spann; Deputy Dan; The Kid; Jumping Jehosophat: The Not So Square Dance; Bird Brain Byrd. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
