Red Ryder – 1942-1950s

Red Ryder lived in Painted Valley with his aunt the “Duchess”, his partner Buckskin, his Indian ward Little Beaver and his horse Thunder. The hero was first seen in a series of short stories by writer-cartoonist Fred Harman, who adapted it as a comic strip for the Los Angeles Times in 1938 before it finally became a series of thirty-minute radio shows.
