About the series
In 1954, General Mills offered a pair of Lone Ranger comic books as a cereal-box premium, each packed with a complete Western adventure starring the masked lawman and his faithful companion, Tonto. Though only two issues were produced, these promotional giveaways have endured as a charming footnote in the character's long history, capturing the classic, straightforward heroics of the era. Associated with the same creative team behind the beloved Dell Comics series, they remain a neat little time capsule of 1950s Americana.
