I got this from the boards at the Lone Ranger Fan Club:

Classic Media, the company that owns the Lone Ranger, has been sold to Entertainment Rights, a British company. We don't yet know what that will mean for the character, but we're hoping for the best.

I'm curious how/if this will affect DE's comic license for the character.

Good to know. Thanks.

It's really hard to say what the new owners will or won't do. I don't know anything aobut them yet. It may take them a while to get their hands on all of the properties they're buying. Classic Media was very aggressive with its licenses.

I was wondering about this too. Good to know it won't be affecting the Lone Ranger series at this time.

Here's more info on the deal (http://www.entertainmentrights.com/news/article_602.asp).
