Behold the Wild Frontier

An old man is chopping down a tree in the woods. As the tree falls he notices his two young grandchildren playing around in the area where the tree is about to fall down. The two boys Mike and Larry barely escape being crushed as the tree smashes to the ground. The grandfather is relieved that they are not hurt and he begins to tell them the story of Daniel Boone and his adventure with the Son of Blackfish. After the story is over the two boys ask the grandfather to tell them another one. This time the old man tells them about Tomahawk and the Junior Ghost Patrol. He then follows up with a story of Davy Crockett and the War Stick of Chief Fighting Elk. The old man and the two boys narrate the entire comic book. At the end of the book the old man and his two grandkids load up their truck with wood that they have chopped down. They are then startled by an arrow that swishes by close to the grandfather's face. The old man stops the truck and pulls out a weapon declaring that they are being surrounded by Indians. The two boys then notice movement by a bush and they tackle a young Indian boy that was hiding . They are surprised to see that the little Indian boy is so young. An adult Indian suddenly appears in an automated sky cycle. He introduces himself as Uttawa and states that the young Indian boy is his son Shalan. He explains that the area is their home. His people had settled the area many many years ago when they arrived in ships that touched down from the sky. Their desire for the simple life made them settle down on earth. The old man then invites that Indian to join them for supper. They dine in the shadow of a giant space ship known as Earth inter-stellar colonization ship 1.
