The Lone Ranger #12
In "The Lone Ranger and the Bank Hold-Up," the Lone Ranger and his young companion Jo face a tense showdown when a bank robbery unfolds in the dusty frontier town of Red Rock. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated with crisp, evocative detail, this 1949 Dell classic captures the rugged spirit of the West, where courage and quick thinking are tested as much as the terrain itself. The cover by Morris Gollub perfectly frames the drama, with bold lines and a sense of impending action.

Little Buck's salvation by Gitchie Manitou (answering Young Hawk's prayer) from cougar and Sioux attracted by smoke of a cook-fire mis-made by LB disregarding Young Hawk's admonishment, comes through their deaths by the agency of: Young Hawk's wounding the cat, his flint knife's breaking, his true aim of a blunt arrow, a fortuitous root, and a fortuitous sharp rock. Young Hawk honors as great warriors the cougar and Sioux who died fighting each other (unlike Dark Cloud who stumbled and hit his head). The boys' loot? A KNIFE OF RINGING STONE! In fact? TWO steel knives; & two quivers of arrows!
