AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Red Ryder was an American Western comic strip created by Stephen Slesinger and Fred Harman.
History
In 1938, cartoonist Fred Harman met publisher and writer Stephen Slesinger. Slesinger had a script for a new comic strip Red Ryder and was looking for an artist to draw it with knowledge of authentic details, a description that Harman fulfilled.
Characters
The red-haired Red Ryder always rides his steed Thunder and lives with his aunt the Duchess. He is a classic hero, straightforward and standing up for the weak. In the first album, he meets a young Navajo Indian, Little Beaver. After his father passed away, Red Ryder takes him under his wing. Little Beaver speaks very simply, which is considered offensive today. Supporting characters included Buckskin Blodgett, Beth, and Ace Hanlon.
Strips
After the strip was first published in the newspaper in 1938, the first Red Ryder comic story appeared in 1940, and the series ended in 1957 after 151 issues, making it one of the longest-running American Western strips. The comics were also translated into multiple languages and were very successful in the Spanish-speaking world.
In 1939, the first story appeared in the Belgian comic magazine Robbedoes. It was alternately called Red Ryder and De Roode Ruiter. The comic was published there between 1939 and 1943 and again from 1946 to 1952. Several albums were also published by Dupuis. Afterwards, Robbedoes readers received their own western comic strip, Jerry Spring.
Other media
On February 3, 1942, the first radio drama of Red Ryder aired in the United States and was broadcast three times a week until 1951. From 1940 to 1950, 27 films featuring the character were also released. The films often lasted less than an hour. Wild Bill Elliott and Allan Lane most frequently portrayed Red Ryder. The last four titles, starring Jim Bannon, were filmed in color.
This lot contains a beautiful page that is partly rendered in ink and partly supplemented with images, mostly of the characters. Likely for an adaptation of the Red Ryder story. I have never seen such a page offered before.
The drawing will be packed with maximum protection and sent to the new owner by registered mail.
