The Lone Ranger #9

This March 1949 Dell issue captures the masked rider at full gallop on his white horse Silver, leaping dramatically across a rocky canyon ridge while an armed pursuer on horseback trails below — a cover by Morris Gollub that pulses with open-range tension and movement. The bold yellow background and sweeping Western landscape make the Lone Ranger's red shirt and silver star badge pop with real visual energy. Inside, Fran Striker's story "The Lone Ranger and the Boy Sheriff" promises the kind of frontier justice adventure that made this series a staple of mid-century comics reading.
