The Lone Ranger has endured as an iconic figure in American popular culture, from his 1933 premier as a radio serial hero through a highly-rated television series (1949-1957) to a 2013 feature film. Created by script writer Fran Striker and radio station owner George W.

The popularity of the Ranger and his companion Tonto inspired later crime fighting duos like Batman and Robin, and The Green Hornet and Kato. This book examines the franchise in detail, with summaries and production details of the original radio episodes.

“I’m not going anywhere near that portal,” I said. “Please. It will help you understand. Me. To help me.” I thought about it. My tío would have told me to be brave. And oh, those eyes. That smile. “Just... for a minute?” “A short minute.” “Promise you’ll bring me right back?” “Word of honor.” Strange boy. Alien disk. Portal in the air. What could go wrong? I grinned, and took his warm hand. “El primer mazal, no se fuya,” I said. “What?” He gave me a strange look. “Oh, you know. Go with your first instinct.” “I know what it means,” he said, and winked. I blushed, because I knew, too. It also means, “Don’t turn down the first boy who asks you out.” Because you never know. He pulled my hand, and I followed him through.
