The Lone Ranger #6

This November–December 1948 Dell issue pairs the masked Ranger with his trusted silver-grey horse in a quietly confident cover by Morris Gollub — the hero's easy smile and yellow-gloved hand resting on the bridle suggest a bond as steady as the frontier itself. Inside, Fran Striker's writing and Charles Flanders' art bring "The Lone Ranger and the 'Skeleton'" to life, promising the kind of mystery-tinged Western adventure the series does so well. A fine snapshot of mid-century comics craftsmanship at a dime a copy.
