About the Art

This 1947 issue of Four Color Comics features the Lone Ranger, a cultural icon of American Western lore, in a dynamic stagecoach chase alongside his loyal companion, Tonto. The cover's bold composition captures mid-century pulp artistry, with rich, saturated colors and dramatic action that evoke the rugged spirit of the Golden Age of Comics. The Lone Ranger's red shirt and white hat contrast sharply with Tonto's earth-toned attire, reflecting their distinct yet complementary roles.

Published by Dell, this comic embodies post-war America's fascination with justice and frontier heroism, making it a vibrant artifact of its era.

Charles Flanders

Charles Flanders (1907–1973), trained at Buffalo’s Allbright Art School, mastered realistic figurework and cinematic composition. His precision drafting defined The Lone Ranger (1939–1971), King of the Royal Mounted, and Secret Agent X-9, adapting Alex Raymond’s style for rugged frontier narratives. Later relocated to Spain post-retirement.
