LONE RANGER "and the Hooded Horsemen" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroes...

Cover art by Morris Gollub

Finding a young woman held captive by masked cowboys, the Lone Ranger and Tonto fake being shot to find the location of the woman's sister, also held captive.

Overcoming and replacing two of the hooded owlhoots, the duo are led the headquarters, but are then unmasked.

Though the Ranger and Tonto have the leader, the criminals hold the two women, and will kill them if the two (admittedly unofficial) lawmen don't surrender...

This tale from Dell's Four Color Comics #167 (1947) was written by Lone Ranger co-creator Fran Striker and illustrated by Charles Flanders.

It was originally-published in 1941 as part of the Lone Ranger syndicated newspaper strip.

Though probably adapted from a radio script, it's been retitled, so I haven't yet figureed out which 1941 (or earlier) episode it's from.
Related note: the Complete Lone Ranger Collector's Edition DVD set I mentioned HERE has been discontinued at Costco.
If you didn't get it for $79.99, the cheapest you'll find it for on-line is $119.99 HERE.

LONE RANGER "and the Hooded Horsemen" Part 1

Our final entry for Lone Ranger Month is a two-parter...

...reprinting a story from the newspaper strip!

Note: the first page is from the inside front cover of the comic, so it's a two-color (red and black) page.

The rest of the story is traditional "four color".

How will the Lone Ranger and Tonto escape?

How will they rescue the two women?

Find out...

TOMORROW!

I always thought that "no kill" gimmick was going to backfire at one point or another...
