The producers changed the story so much it was barely recognizable, and heavily targeted their story toward the ‘Dawson’s Creek’ fanbase. In 2003 the WB produced a 2-hour Lone Ranger TV movie that was supposed to be a series pilot. In 1994 Topps Comics tried to revive the character with a 4 issue mini-series, but had limited success. This was a PR disaster and really hurt the new movie before it was even complete. The producers of the new movie didn’t want two Lone Rangers running around, so they took legal action to prevent Moore from appearing with the Ranger mask on. Clayton Moore had been making personal appearances in the Lone Ranger costume since the TV show debuted. That film suffered tremendously before it was ever released.
There were also two Lone Ranger animated series, one in 1966 and one in 1980-1981 (as part of the Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure Hour).Īfter 1981’s poorly received ‘ The Legend of the Lone Ranger’ feature, starring Klinton Spilsbury and Michael Horse, the character kind of faded away from the mainstream. The series produced 221 original episodes, and Moore and Silverheels starred in two big screen Lone Ranger feature films: ‘ The Lone Ranger’ in 1956 and ‘ The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold’ in 1958. Starring Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels as Tonto (with John Hart replacing Moore for season 3), the Lone Ranger TV show ran from Septemuntil June 6, 1957, and ran heavily in reruns until the 1980s. The most popular and successful interpretation of the character was, of course, the television series. Gold Key took over the comics and published 28 issues from 1964-1977.
Dell comics ran 145 issues from 1948-1962, plus 4 special issues, a Tonto spin-off series and a Silver spin-off series. A Lone Ranger daily newspaper strip ran from September 1938 until December 1971. Two film serials were produced (though these do not follow the accepted story of the Ranger) in 19. Lone Ranger creator Fran Striker published 18 Lone Ranger novels from 1936-1956. The radio series was enormously successful and the Lone Ranger spun off into other media. It produced somewhere between 2,900 and 3,100 episodes (reports vary). The radio series ran until September 3, 1954. The Lone Ranger made his debut on radio February 2, 1933. It was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Lone Ranger is an action film by Gore Verbinski, which stars Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto.
