BB-Gun Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) And Sonny liked the Lone Ranger. His radio show was broadcast for a long time in the Detroit area. Clayton Moore, from the TV show, toured the country for years after the show's demise and he was as tough as nails.

damonwad Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 The B-Bar-B's are new to my list, look like fun reads. I liked watching the Lone Ranger reruns as a kid but am not familiar with Red Ryder except seeing a comic pictured here and there. I'll get a few and see how I like them. Thanks for the posts.

BB-Gun Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 These Western threads seem to die off pretty fast. I still have a few covers and splash pages to show. Here is nice splash which seems to combine Westerns and Horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Black Diamond covers by Biro remind me of Crime does not Pay which remind me of Timely/Atlas Westerns. Black Diamond had Bing Bang Buster by Wolvertoon which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) There were some pretty good actors in those TV westerns. And a lot of good actresses played Annie Oakley. and sometimes the horse was the star. Edited May 11, 2010 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks BB-Gun. I especially like the cover to Two-Gun Kid 9. Should mention again the work that Frazetta did for Magazine Enterprises. Especially liked his White Indian stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Frank drew westerns because that was what everyone was buying back in the fifties. He drew really great westerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonwad Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I am looking forward to reading some of the Frazetta westerns. I was only really aware of the Ghost Rider covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Good grief, what`s going on with a crappy unloved title like Lone Ranger? Prices exploded in last week`s Heritage weekly auction! I had to spend way more than I had expected to get this (and probably wouldn`t have gone that high if it didn`t have an old label): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The Dan Brand stories were reprinted in White Indian, and as Frazetta didn't do the covers, they are pretty affordable considering the contents are all Frazetta - usually less than guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 There were some pretty good actors in those TV westerns. and sometimes the horse was the star. John Hart said in an interview that Silver liked him a lot more than Clayton. Jay just liked everybody. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Isn't there a Johnny Depp movie coming out on the Lone Ranger? Maybe this might be helping boost prices? First I've heard of that, although on the other hand I don't really follow movie news. In any event, the Lone Ranger is associated with other forms of media, not comic books, so I don't think Lone Ranger comics would run up as a result of a LR movie. Just like if a new Tarzan movie came out with Avatar types of box office numbers, I can't imagine it would affect Tarzan comic prices at all.

Maybe this might be helping boost prices? I heard he was going to play Tonto. Sounds like a good start. The last Lone Ranger movie was pretty weak. Horse opera has to be something special before the kids will lay down their money. Nothing recent has been as good as Silverado and Dances with Wolves as far as I am concerned. But I still think Red River was one of the top 10 movies ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
