I think it was a Lone Ranger comic book that first gave me the whole story of John Reid, the Texas Ranger whose buddies were killed in ambush, leaving him -down the scoundrels who did it, leaving a swath of law and order in his wake.Įven as a kid, I wondered why he bothered with that mask. His origins, like those of Superman, were rarely referred to.
"Who wasm that masked man?" we'd ask ourselves each week, after watching him dispatch the latest gaggle of villains. Thanks to Universal Pictures and Hollywood's yen for nostalgia, "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" has finally made it to the wide screen.įor us who grew up with the Lone Ranger and Tonto as grainy figures on a black-and-white TV set, they weren't just characters, they were the stuff of a minor myth.
It's a corny way to begin, but a fact's a fact: The Lone Ranger rides again! So return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when a masked crusader and his Indian pal fought for truth, justice, and the American way in the Wild West.
