The Lone Ranger Meets The Wolfman!!! A New Novel!

[OGbuilder]

Just wanted to let everyone know I've finished my novel "The Lone Ranger Meets The Wolfman!!!" and thought I'd publish it here first in honor of my fellow monster/50s TV western fans. Please feel free to comment or copy passeges for review purposes, but remember, the copyright is mine.

So, without further ado, here is "The Lone Ranger Meets The Wolfman!!":



CHAPTER ONE: ENCOUNTER!!

Grrrrr!!

BANG!!

THE END


Thank you for your participation; hardback out soon. Tom Cruise has expressed an interest in the film rights...

I drew a cartoon about this same mash-up a couple years ago with the intent of doing a Flash-animated short . . . I'll see if I can dig it up.

Long time ago there was an anthology style horror comic book that had a story like this in it. Twisted Tales, House of Secrets, maybe? In it, a werewolf was stalking in the old west and as he was about to kill his prey he was shot by silver bullets. The victim looks up and sees a silhouetted cowboy figure against the full moon shout out "Hi-Yo Silver!" and the spared victim says "Who was that masked man?" Itwas pretty cool. Wish I could remember the magazine. There was also a story in a similar type magazine about an over zealous Roman vampire who tried to attack Jesus Christ and drink his blood. He dissolved when he went attacked. Both stories had a cool twist, but I will be hanged if I can remember where I read them.

Dang, OGbuilder, I wish I could write like that!

I would totally read that book, see the movie, and then walk around telling everyone that the book was way better

[BlackLagoon]

I would kill for something like this--especially in comic book or TPB form.

I love mash ups like that--the Marvel Vs. Evil Dead stuff is pretty epic.

If you started off with say Wolfman terrorizing a Native American reservation, with all of the top hunters/trackers ending up dead 1st--then Tonto gets on the scene and perhaps meets the Lone Ranger during this time.

Now you have a new spin on how Tonto and the Lone Ranger became a team--and a reason to illustrate some action packed carnage and horror.

Come to think of it, if you need a co-writer, just let me know

Anton, you might be thinking of a two- or three- page strip drawn by Mike Kaluta [I think] in an old MONSTER TIMES. Sheep farmers are being terrorised by werewolf attacks and the the brother of one victim accuses a spooky-looking henchman of the cattle barons as a lycanthrope. The guy even gives his name as "W. Wolf". The kid defies his father's scepticism and sends for outside help. The next full moon, a young girl is attacked, but saved by a heroic intervention as the story then plays out pretty much in the manner you describe. The werewolf shouts, "No ! Not you !!" just before he is riddled with bullets.
Of course, given the whole silver-bullet thing, it may well be another tale altogether, but if I can find this one, I'll see if I can scan it.
Kim Newman's excellent 'pro fanfic' ANNO DRACULA also mentions the Lone Ranger in a monster context.
**SPOILERS FOLLOW** At one point, Chas. Beauregarde, agent of the secret British government and faithful subject of Queen Victoria, attends a silversmith-by-appointment for an upgrade to his sword-cane. Under Dracula's regime, silver is pretty much forbidden because of its effects on vampire-flesh; even the coinage has changed, to copper; but the country is a stew of factions and causes, and the Prince Consort - Dracula - has vampire enemies as well as warm ones, so it can't be dispensed with entirely. The silversmith explains at one point that an American, Reid, designed silver bullets in spite of the expense, as a reminder that "bullets should be costly. A reminder that life is a currency not to be spent freely."

You truly know how to paint a word picture
