Story deals with Tonto asking Lone Ranger questions of his past. Signed by Kane and writer Cary Bates who worked with Russ Heath, noted comic book artist. Strip has lt. handling wear and pinholes at corners. Last panel section has five 1/8” moisture spots and scattered smudging to marker but does not greatly detract from overall appearance which remains Exc. Unique.
