Golden Age Origin
In the American west of the 1880s, when criminals or danger threatened, rancher Jim Larrimore would become the Lone Rider. The Lone Rider had a Pinto horse called Lightning, named after the lightning-shaped blaze on his forehead. Early in his career he had a Mexican guitar-playing sidekick named Diego and a young Native American named Bright Feather. Later he became close friends and blood-brothers with the Native American warrior Golden Arrow (not the Fawcett Character), whose name was later changed to Swift Arrow.

Notes
- The Lone Rider was also a character that had his own comic strip created by Jack Kirby which was re-printed in Famous Funnies. The basic look of the characters were the same, but whether it was the same character or not is unclear.
- The character was briefly revived as The Rider but that it was short lived with just 5 issues published.
