In "Bandits in Uniform," the Lone Ranger faces a new kind of outlaw—someone wearing a government badge. When tax collector Andrew Gage begins using hired thugs to steal from ranchers under the guise of enforcing taxes, the son of a victim takes up the mask to fight back. Tom Gill's art brings the dusty frontier to life, while Ernest Nordli's cover captures the tension of a man in uniform with a hidden agenda.
