The Lone Ranger #1

The Lone Ranger #1 (2006) kicks off with John Reid stepping into the Texas Rangers alongside his father and brother, bound for justice in the rugged frontier. When their unit is ambushed by a ruthless outlaw, John barely survives the massacre that leaves his family and comrades dead. Written by Brett Matthews and illustrated with striking precision by Sergio Cariello, with colors by Dean White and letters by Simon Bowland, the issue sets a tense, grounded tone for the legend’s origin. The cover, a dramatic portrait by John Cassaday, captures the moment John’s world changes forever.
