Since it's the last day of #WesternComicsMonth, I'm going with this Tonto issue because the cover by Ernest Nordli is just so beautifully painted.

The Lone Ranger's Companion Tonto #11 (1953). The cover shows Tonto riding his horse quickly and saving a young Indigenous American child without missing a beat. It's an action scene that is just amazingly illustrated.
