The Lone Ranger #25

Dell's long-running western series delivers a full 52 pages of frontier adventure in this July 1950 installment. The cover, penciled by Morris Gollub, presents a quietly powerful moment: the masked Lone Ranger in his red shirt and wide-brimmed hat stands side by side with a dignified Native American chief in a full feathered war bonnet, the two figures engaged in what feels like a respectful, measured exchange. It's a striking image that sets the tone for writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Tom Hickey's tale of the open West.
