The Lone Ranger #90

Dell's long-running western series delivers a tense December 1955 cover by Hank Hartman, showing the masked Lone Ranger rising with pistol drawn against a blazing sunset sky, while Tonto crouches alongside him leveling a rifle — two allies clearly braced for trouble. The painted artwork has a cinematic warmth that suits the duo perfectly, and the story inside, "Timberland Raids," written by Gaylord Du Bois and drawn by Rex Maxon, promises frontier action worthy of the setup. A satisfying slice of mid-fifties Western comics at its most dependable.
