Lone Rider put on a black mask and costume and rode his horse Lightnin’ to fight injustice in the American West. He was assisted by a Mexican guitar player named Diego, his son Pepito, and Texas, the laziest man and quickest draw in the west. The Lone Rider also worked with Sheriff Hank Fletcher, who the Rider disguised himself as when apprehending Hutch Kruger’s gang so the sheriff would receive the credit. His enemies included Hutch Kruger and his gang, as well as the immortal 50,000 year old telepath known as Dr. Chuda. At first his adventures seemed to be the Old West, but in Famous Funnies #66, elements of the modern day technology such as television screens and motor boats started showing up.
