"Twilight Ranger"... heh. What's he think he's going to do to that outlaw brandishing a revolver -- POINT him into unconsciousness? I'll have to start making a list of all the Cloned Rangers, just to keep them straight. I might be wrong, but collectively I believe it's the largest group of obvious "knock-off" characters in comics, more than even Tarzan or Superman.

This title was advertised at the end of the colour Silver Starr comic book.
Thanks for this. Do you have the other stories?

Interestingly, Twilight Ranger is sometimes shown with a pistol. Cover of the first issue (#23) and info:-

It's a shame the TR story isn't here, but at least we have the excellent Silver Starr.

Wonderful to see a thirty page Silver Starr comic here. Sans the other 70 pages, might it not be better to put it under a Siver Starr category. I only seriously regret having lost two comics in my life and one was the colour Silver Starr comic which I had as a kid.
Great addition to the site.
I don't know if Kirby knew the existence of this version of Silver Starr when he reused the name. I'm pretty sure he did.
Cheers!

Stanley Pitt provides an excellent pastiche of Alex Raymond art on "Silver Starr."

"Cloned Rangers" might be an interesting list/article/something.

Sorry, OzMan, what you see is all there is.

Thanks Lyons.

Looks rather washed out as scanned. Well, I suppose some people are sticklers for accuracy to the original comic... and I can tell by those none-too-solid "solid blacks" that it's just due to cheap printing. Fortunately it's so cheap that they left out the colour entirely, making it rather simple for me to fix in my saved copy by cranking the contrast all the way up to the max. I just like to tinker with the images a bit for readability's sake, fixing damaged bits (none here that I could see), straightening crooked pages, and chopping down those huge margins (just a waste of screen display space AFAIC). I wish SS had gotten more than a small corner of the cover image, but oh well. Frankly, since we don't have the TR story and he's the major cover feature, I just chucked it.
