Krazy Little Comics (1967 Topps): Lone Rancher is one of sixteen parody mini-comics originally produced as test market items in 1967, by the Topps Chewing Gum Company.

These possibly predate, or are at least contemporaneous with, Not Brand Ecch! #1 (08/1967), and are among the rarest of the Merry Marvel Marching Society era items.
