Crossover Cover: The Hunting Party
According to Roman Leary's contribution to this anthology, "The Hunting Party," the
Masked Rider has a friend who lives at the Carlton Hotel in San
Francisco, a reference to Paladin
from the radio and television western Have
Gun–Will Travel.
This reference brings the Rider, who appeared
in the pulp magazine The
Masked Rider Western from
1934–1953, into the CU. The
Masked Rider met Jackson Cole’s Navajo Tom Raine, Arizona Ranger,
in C. W. Harrison’s story “Boothill Beller Box” (Exciting
Western
Volume 8 #2, October 1944), while Raine crossed over with Steve Reese
from the pulp Range
Riders
in “Rawhide Ranger” (Exciting
Western Volume
7 #2, April 1944).

Cool! It's nice to have more western heroes added, especially when they also bring in others. :-)
