The Lone Ranger #26

From Dell's August 1950 run of Western adventure, this issue finds the masked Lone Ranger in the thick of close-quarters action — the cover by Morris Gollub depicts him leaping from his rearing white stallion, pistol drawn, grappling hand-to-hand with two armed outlaws against a vivid green background. It's a kinetic, well-composed scene that captures the Ranger's fearless, up-close brand of justice. With 52 pages of all-comics content and a story pitting him against the Black Barton Gang, this dime-priced Dell issue delivers a full evening of frontier excitement.
