Native American who witness the temporal disappearances of buffalo and Trans Time Rangers. He records the experience in an almanac.

BEST LINES
Young Buck: "The white eyes take the food from our mouths! Kill them - Every last one!"

WORST LINES
Claw: "You guys shaken up a bit? You'll get used to the time transfer after a while. It's a bit like the old jet-lag people in the 20th century used to have."

CATCHPHRASES
Young Buck gives a variation on a theme with "Aheee!", while a contemporary buffalo hunter tries out "Aaaaeeee!"

REVIEW
The setting is an interesting departure, but the plot has too many holes, the artwork very variable and the lettering is unforgivable.
