The Lone Ranger #4

The masked rider himself charges across this July-Aug. 1948 Dell cover, the Lone Ranger leaning forward in full gallop aboard his white horse Silver, kicking up dust as they race along a sun-baked trail against a crisp blue sky. Morris Gollub's cover art captures the pair in a burst of motion — red shirt, black mask, and all — radiating the kind of frontier energy that made this series such a fixture of postwar newsstands. With a story titled "The Lone Ranger and the Clever Impostors," there's clearly no shortage of trouble ahead for the West's most recognizable masked man.
