Comic Mint is pleased to offer LONE RANGER fans this vintage production setup featuring the Lone Ranger riding Silver, with Tonto behind him. This is a one-of-a-kind, key-master production setup that was filmed and used in the making of this series. The artwork is signed by the producer of the Lone Ranger series, animation legend, HERB KLYNN:

“The thing we brought to The Lone Ranger,” said producer Herb Klynn, “was a totally new graphic.” Multi-layered montaged backgrounds featuring shapes of luminous color held together by cels featuring illustrations that used grease pencils on the acetate instead of ink to get strong compelling black lines was used. “Creative talent cannot be contained,” stated Klynn. “It must be allowed to breathe, to try new avenues…you have to experiment and go through a creative evolutionary process. That’s what we did. We were a team, a family with no boundaries.”
