The Lone Ranger's Famous Horse Hi-Yo Silver #12
In "Silver's First Swim," the Lone Ranger's legendary horse Hi-Yo Silver takes center stage as he faces a new challenge in the wilds of the frontier. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated by Tom Gill, this 1954 Dell classic captures Silver’s courage and instinct as he tracks a dangerous cougar threatening the wagon train—only to later confront the cunning Apache horse hunter Keenay, who seeks to capture him. Sam Savitt’s dynamic cover perfectly captures the action, while the story unfolds with quiet tension and the timeless spirit of the West.
