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 Lightnin', named after the Lightnin'-shaped blaze on his forehead. Early in his career he had a young Native American sidekick 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.

* Bob Farrell (born Isidore Katz) was the writer of Lightnin' and Lone Rider, a comic strip illustrated by Jack Kirby and Frank Robins lanched in 1939, the strip was syndicated by Farrell's own company, Associated Features Syndicate and reprinted in Eastern Color's Famous Funnies. In 1948, he founded Farrell Publications, and in 1951, he launched a new version of Lone Rider and Lightnin'.
* In 1957, Ajax-Farrell Publications launched the comic book ''The Rider'', in which the character was also referred to by that name in the stories, possibly to avoid legal issues with The Lone Ranger.
* A significant point of confusion arises because many comic book databases and websites mistakenly merge the "Lone Rider" with the earlier feature "Lightnin' and the Lone Rider" as if they were a single, continuous character. While both Western heroes were published by Bob Farrell, they are, in fact, distinct characters with separate storylines and identities.
** This confusion is evident in how different sources handle them: ComicVine lists their appearances under a single character entry but presents their biographies in separate. The Grand Comics Database correctly separates them into two different features: "Lightnin' and Lone Rider" and "Lone Rider."

* In Apache Trail #4, a story originally published in The Lone Rider #17 was reprinted, but it was reworked and the character was renamed Bret Marshall.
