It's Lone Ranger & Tonto Month at Western Comics Adventures!

With a new (and somewhat controversial) Lone Ranger (and Tonto) movie opening next Wednesday, our brother blog, Western Comics Adventures™ will be dedicating July to entries about the most famous Western duo in fiction (whom we've covered a number of times previously).

This Monday, you'll see a classic feature on Tonto; his biography, cultural background, and skills & abilities, that was consistent through the various versions in radio, tv, comics, pulps (yes, pulps) and movies up to the late 1990s!

There'll also be entries about the incarnations of the duo in various media with lots of hard-to-find stuff to link to and/or download.

And maybe an explanation for the bird on Johnny Depp's head...

FLYING SAUCERS Comic Covers

Here's the cover art by Gene Fawcette...

...to the story we've been running the past few days.

Oddly, when the issue was reprinted a couple of years later, the art was altered...

...and I've never heard an explanation as to why!

For the record, I like the original cover better!

Reading Room: FLYING SAUCERS "Final Objective"

When Last We Left Ross Lanning...

Art by Wally Wood

...he was rescued by the aliens from foreign spies who wanted the secret of alien technology!

Inspired by the flying saucer craze of the late 1940s-early 1950s, this 1950 Wally Wood-illustrated book was one of many one-shot titles from Avon Comics during their short, but prolific existence.
