I read this back in the 90s and thought it was pretty well done for what it was. I was kinda amazed at the time that Lansdale got away with making it so dark-- even including Cthulu elements-- since I had always heard that the owners of LR were protective of their property.
I liked the way he handled the relation between LR and Tonto and I think some of it was incorporated into the recent film version. I wish it had been a straight version of this comic though instead... it would have been better IMO.
Speaking of Tonto... Jay Silverheels was seen on METV Saturday 7/26 in an episode of "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with Steve McQueen. He aquited himself very well as an Apache wrongly accused of killing a rancher. Josh Randell tracked him down and, in the process of bringing him in, foiled the real killer and allowed Mr Silverheels to testify against the criminal. ~ El Kabong

Very colorful expositions of two angry men armed to the teeth.
This ain't my Lone Ranger.

Good to know Our Man Tonto ended up on the "Alive" side of the register.
