DE reprinting the classic Lone Ranger comics?

[Bjarne]

I seem to remember reading somwhere that DE is going to reprint the old original Lone Ranger comics.

When will this happen? -And in what format will the classics be presented - Trades, hardcovers or...??

Thanks!

Hmm...it may be several days before I'm able to get back to you on this, as I know Joe is currently away. I'll see what I can do mate! ;)

No worries Bjarne! Not a problem at all! :D


And here is the official word from Joe:


All undertermined, but we do have the rights to do the older material…

OK, so it's far from set in stone, that we will actually see the old classics reprinted. :(

Sounds like it mate. Bear in mind though, Joe didn't say they're not doing them ever - just not right now. ;)

I guess it all comes down to how well the new series does.

Just curious - I assume this deal relates to the old Dell and Gold Key material. Does anyone know if this includes the Topps Lone Ranger and Tonto mini-series from the nineties? I know it's far from certain they will re-print anything, I was just wondering.

Umm... from the lack of answers, I think it's safe to assume nobody knows anything... :)

And the official word from Joe:


To my knowledge, any and all Lone Ranger…


Hope that helps, Mikey! :D

But are they in fact going to reprint any of the classic LR comics - that's the question...

Check out the Collected Comics Library podcast interview with Joe Rybandt. In it he mentions they are working on reprinting some of the classic Lone Ranger comics as well as the 1980s Carey Bates/Russ Heath newspaper strip. He still says nothing is final at this point, but at least we know they're working on something.

Thanks for the heads-up Mikey - great to hear!

Any more new on this front ... anyone?

C'mon guys! With a new movie on the way, and Lone Ranger awareness at an all time high, this the PERFECT time to announce THE LONE RANGER ARCHIVES! I would gladly pay 50 bucks for each dust jacketed hard cover volume!

Make it happen!
