Russ Heath - Original Comic Strip Art for The Lone Ranger Daily dated 3-20-83 (LRTV Inc., 1983). Based on the critically-lambasted "Lone Ranger" feature film, this adventure strip was quite an improvement from an aesthetic standpoint, with fast-moving scripts by comic vet Cary Bates, and phenomenal artwork by the legendary Russ Heath. Well-loved by Ranger fans, examples of original art for this series are exceptionally rare, as much of it was destroyed by the syndicate; precious little survives, and much that does features the Lone Ranger either in disguise, or absent altogether. Offered here is a prime example of the strip, as the Lone Ranger and Tonto corner their comely foe in a mine shaft. All of Heath's strengths are evident in these three brief panels, and the waist-up shot of the Ranger is one of the best. Measures 6" x 17", with only a tiny bit of white-out. Hi-yo Silver! Away! Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
