The Lone Ranger and Tonto have become enmeshed in a plot involving a rich rancher who wants to move an Indian reservation off land that includes a mountain sacred to the First Americans.

Returning to town, The Ranger and Tonto again run into a band of "Indians" who display very un-Indian characteristics...

Can The Lone Ranger and Tonto stop a potential massacre?

Why does Kilgore want Spirit Mountain?

Reading Room: PHANTOM LADY "Satan's Cargo"

Besides appearing in her own title, Phantom Lady was also featured in the anthology All-Top Comics for several issues starting with #8.

While the art is still wonderful Matt Baker "good girl" work, the script is pretty weak.
BTW, most people don't realize that PL is even in these All-Top Comics issues since Rulah: Jungle Goddess, another Matt Baker-illustrated heroine, dominated the covers!

Phantom Lady will return, next week...

Possibly...the (non-Popuppian) Impossible Man!

Long before Jim Valentino created the hilarious NormalMan series, there was another, short-lived Golden Age saga, about a guy without super-powers on a world where everyone else had them...

Never heard of this guy?
The only "Impossible Man" you know is the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Popuppian wacko from Fantastic Four?
It's understandable.
Hugh Mann: the Impossible Man, made only three appearances, each one in a different comic title, and all hidden away in the back of the book!
This was his first, in 1945's Red Band Comics #3 and #4 (the two issues have identical covers and contents, but different indicias).
As to who the creators are...some attribute the art to George Marcoux, who created SuperSnipe, the Kid with the Most Comic Books in America! and some say Charles "C.A." Voight, who did humor strips like Captain Milksop and Sir Prize.
Either way, it's a hoot!
Enjoy, and be assured that Impossible Man will return...
