Very effective, Yoc.

Give the amount of westerns showing up recently, also very timely.

Thanks Bob, glad you like it.  This was a tricky one to do too.

I actually started work on it years ago when we had our second ftp offering.  I ended up only using the Swift Arrow last section back then.  So I was happy I could finally use the first two somewhere.
And like you say, with all the westerns going up just lately it make good sense.

Really outstanding job on the new Banner.
Taking art from several sources and blending them into a single narrative
is impressive...let alone finding the required panels among the trillion available.
