TONTO 1955


This comic, billed as the Lone Ranger Companion is a good example of the quality artwork and storytelling that made the Dell name a giant with early comic book collectors.

The publishers details on the inside cover tells us that this is Tonto no 17 Nov-Jan 1955. It is published quarterly by Dell Publishing Co. Subscriptions are 40C a year domestic and 70C a year foreign.


I have reproduced the first strip here - the strip on the back cover is the finale of the second strip. The comic contained two full length stories.

What I like here is that you're getting a lot of words with your pictures. The story feels meaty, as if you're getting a solid chuck of reading material. I like that.

I think Dell had more money during this period than a lot of other comic publishers and could afford better writers and artists.
