The Lone Ranger #74

In "The Wide Missouri," Young Hawk and Little Buck flee the Shoshone village under threat from Black Heel and Canuga, former allies now driven by bitter resentment. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated with bold clarity by Rex Maxon, this 1954 Dell adventure captures the tension of a young hero’s journey through perilous terrain. The cover by Hank Hartman perfectly frames the moment’s urgency, a striking image of pursuit and resolve.
