The Lone Ranger #946, "Black Caballero Part 3,"
The Black Caballero stages a daring jailbreak from White Springs with help from his gang members Hawk, Blaze, and Dirk, who create a diversion by starting a fight at a cafe to draw away Sheriff Carlson and his deputy Steve. Despite sharing a cell with former Sheriff Ramsey, the outlaw refuses to stay captured. His men urge him to forget about the Lone Ranger and focus on profitable crimes, but the Black Caballero remains obsessed with facing his masked adversary a third time, insisting he will do so alone.
In a surprising turn, the escaped outlaw sends a message to the Lone Ranger requesting a meeting at his hidden camp. He promises to come alone and unarmed if the masked man signals with smoke. Despite the risk, the Lone Ranger and Tonto trust the Black Caballero's word enough to grant him safe passage. As the enigmatic outlaw rides into camp on his swift horse Diablo, a tense confrontation begins between two honorable men on opposite sides of the law, each respecting the other's abilities.
