Art by Henry Vallely. The first-ever appearance of the Lone Ranger in comic books, originally sold as a mail-in offer for an ice cream company (which is why the masked hero carries an ice-cream cone). Adapted not from the comic strip, but from the Big Little Book Lone Ranger and His Horse Silver, also illustrated by Henry Vallely. The BLB illustrations form a sort of comic-strip version of the story. The masked hero of the West battles outlaws with help from his sidekick Tonto and faithful horse Silver, never even waiting for anyone to thank him. This is believed to be the first Western comic book devoted to a single character. Back cover features an ad for Lone Ranger Picture Rings. 32 pages, B&W.

Written by Philippe Druille and Gustave Flaubert. Art by Philippe Druillet.

A heady perfume of blood and rage across the stars featuring Philippe Druillet's legendary Lone Sloane. In the third century BC, mercenaries employed by Carthage during the first Punic War rose against their employers, who repeatedly postponed their pay. Two barbarian clan chiefs, Matho and Narr'Havas, fell in love with the beautiful and ethereal Salammbo, daughter of Hamilcar of Carthage. A bloody conflict arose.

Based on the 19th century novel by Flaubert, Salammbo was reappropriated and recontextualised by Druillet in this masterwork. Transposing the ancient Punic Wars into his space fantasy universe, and splicing the identity of the novel's Mathô with his favorite character, Lone Sloane, Druillet works his intoxicatingly psychedelic magic on a literary classic, reinvigorating it from the inside out with his own transcendent storytelling.
