The Lone Ranger #3

The masked man looms large across this striking cover by Francesco Francavilla — the Lone Ranger's cool, determined gaze peers out from beneath his white hat while a shadowy group of riders fills the brim's negative space, suggesting trouble riding in from the frontier. Part three of "Hard Country," this 2012 Dynamite series continues to give the classic Western hero a genuinely compelling modern treatment. With Ande Parks scripting and Esteve Polls on interior art, this is a fine-looking chapter in a series that takes the mythology seriously.
