The Lone Ranger #10

This April 1949 Dell issue puts the masked Ranger front and center in a tense three-way scuffle — he faces down one armed man on horseback who raises a pistol overhead, while a second opponent in yellow grapples at his side, with Silver rearing dramatically beneath the chaos. Morris Gollub's cover art delivers real kinetic energy, capturing the Lone Ranger's cool, fearless composure against the odds. With Fran Striker writing and Charles Flanders on art inside, this issue — featuring "The Lone Ranger and the Stagecoach Race!" — is a fine slice of Western adventure storytelling at its most straightforward and exciting.
