For over 85 years, stories of courage, justice and action of the MASKED MAN in the Wild West have thrilled children and adults alike, and his legend has become part of American culture. First on the radio back in 1933, then in the comics and on television, and later the movies, the Ranger that everyone thought dead donned his mask and rode the frontier, seeking to ensure justice in what was often a lawless land. It would be the rare person even today who hasn't seen or heard some of his thrilling tales. Though a work of fiction, research has shown that he may have been based on a real lawman, which makes these stories all the more important and exciting.
In a fortunate twist of fate, some of the early issues of his comic stories fell into the public domain;
at RETRO COMIC REPRINTS part of our mission is to ensure that public domain treasures like these are collected for readers today and for future generations.
This book reprints the first five issues of the Dell Four Color Series: #82, 98, 118, 125 and #136.
