“Let Nothing You Dismay” by E. M. Jackson on the cover of “Collier’s” magazine, January 3, 1931.
The character at a masked ball isn’t the Lone Ranger, but he is an amazing look-alike and is on the cover of Collier’s years before the fictional cowboy hero was ever created. The Lone Ranger first appeared in 1933 on the Lone Ranger radio program airing in Detroit, Michigan. His creators were George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, and I wonder if they might not have seen and been influenced by the masked man on the cover of Collier’s.
