The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THE
LONE RANGER #20 from Dynamite Entertainment. The story is by Ande Parks, with
art by Esteve Polls, colors by Marcello Pinto, and lettering by Simon Bowland.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto head to Abliene, Kansas to
investigate the killing of a well-respected Marshall. It happened while he and
his deputy were in the process of arresting two men wanted for murder. The
deputy got scared and didn’t lend a hand to save Marshall Smith. Tonto and The
Ranger offer their assistance to bring the murders to justice. Will Deputy
McDonald summon enough courage to take the lawbreakers down, or will he chicken
out again on our heroes?
If you have read my reviews over time, I have been a big
proponent for Western comics. There are very few out there, but they are top
notch with Parks’ THE LONE RANGER being among the best. There are no gimmicks or
eye candy (although Francesco Francavilla’s cover and Esteve Polls’ interiors
are very pleasing to the eye), just great storytelling.
THE LONE RANGER #20 is in stores now, or available to
order at www.Dynamite.com.
