Though there\u2019s no talk of the pulp version, The Lone Ranger<\/a> was the subject of a fairly lengthy segment of Monday\u2019s All Things Considered<\/em> on National Public Radio. And among those interviewed for the 13-minute story was pulpdom\u2019s own Mark Ellis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Lone Ranger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was part of ATC<\/em>\u2019s new series, In Character, on \u201cindelible American characters, explored in depth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lone Ranger celebrates his 75th anniversary this month, though that reflects his first appearance on the radio. TLR\u2019s pulp appearances didn\u2019t occur for four more years, when The Lone Ranger Magazine<\/em> debuted in April 1937. (The magazine ran for only eight monthly issues, culminating in November 1937.)<\/p>\n

The cover at left, with TLR wearing a bandana rather than a mask, was from Spartan Publishing\u2019s 1936 ash can pulp, or prototype, used to copyright the magazine so no other publisher could beat them to the punch.<\/p>\n

Back to the NPR segment… Ellis, who published Pulp Vault<\/em><\/a> for a number of years and has put together a timeline of TLR\u2019s career<\/a>, discusses the racial overtones of TLR and Tonto.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t hear it during the afternoon broadcast, or if you\u2019d like to hear it again, you can listen to In Character on the NPR Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a shorter version of the story in text form, with photos of creator Fran Striker and The Lone Ranger, at that same link. Plus, you can read \u201cThe Lone Ranger\u2019s Creed.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, of course, there\u2019s a comments section<\/a> where you can offer your views on TLR and the segment.<\/p>\n
