Synopsis 

As an untried child, the young Cheyenne brave who
would become Red Wolf curried the horses before a hunt or war party.

As a youth, he could run and
swim faster, and shoot arrow truer than the other braves. The wise old shaman
Many Moons told the brave that he was the descendent of the first Red Wolf. Many
Moons told the brave he would one day become another Red Wolf, and to him would
fall the task of protecting and leading his people, and of keeping the peace
upon the plains.

The brave’s tribe that was slaughtered by
pony soldiers, his father dying in battle and his mother dropped before their
teepee. The brave was
saved from death at the hands of Sgt. Hacker and given to the
Martin and Emma Wakeley, who had no children of their own.

Martin & Emma Wakely trained
their new son, Johnny, in the ways of the white man, teaching him to farm, read,
and fire a gun, though he retained his earlier skills. Eventually both Martin and
Emma were slain by renegade Native Americans, whom Johnny then slew

Johnny Wakely refused to
sell his house to some white men, who then burnt it down. Having
nowhere else to go, and neither accepted by the White or Red Man,
Johnny volunteered his services as a scout to the army
installation Fort Rango. Even there he was an outsider.
   
He soon learned that a group of Cheyenne were planning on
assaulting the Fort. However, while investigating, he was
observed and shot by one of the Cheyenne. Wakely fell off a
cliff, seemingly to his death, but awakened, completely healed,
in the tomb of the first Red Wolf. The god Owayodata appeared
before him and commissioned him to bring peace and justice to the
plains world. Wakeley became Red Wolf, and he adopted an injured
wolf he found within the tomb to become his ally and companion,
Lobo. Owayodata sent Red Wolf to defeat the plot of Burning Tree.

Red
Wolf exposed and defeated the plot of Burning Tree, who had
joined together with some white thieves (Catfish and one other)
to frame the men of Fort Rango for the theft of the sacred White
Buffalo hide.

Notes

• Fox credited as Gardner F. Fox.
• This issue is the first appearance of the Red Wolf that was active in the American Southwest in the late 19th century. He is not to be confused with his descendant Thomas Thunderhead, the Red Wolf of the 1970’s or William Talltrees, the Red-Wolf of the late 20th century introduced in The Avengers #80 ( in Italy in THC # 95).
• Red Wolf appears next in Red Wolf #1.
