The Lone Ranger #17

A rugged mountain pass sets the stage as the masked Lone Ranger, pistol drawn, rides hard on his white horse Silver amid rocky terrain — a cover by Morris Gollub that captures the Western tension perfectly. Inside, 52 pages of all-comics action await, including the story "The Lone Ranger and Skinner the Schemer," written by Gaylord Du Bois with art by Tom Hickey. This 1949 Dell issue, priced at just a dime, is a fine example of the era's Western adventure storytelling at its most earnest and spirited.
