“The Lone Rider” was a comic book published by Ajax-Ferrell’s Superior Comics in April 1951[1]. It was a western-frontier genre comic book that featured the masked character “The Lone Rider” who appeared on his horse Lightning whenever trouble threatened in the 1880s American west[2].
Orville Peck is a South African country musician based in Canada. He exudes an aura of mystery, wearing a fringed mask and never showing his face publicly[3][4]. His debut album Pony was released in November 2019[4][5].
When I discovered The Lone Rider comicbook, I knew two things: (1) we need a Lone Rider movie, and (2) Orville Peck must play the lead. While I’m not currently able to bring these two things into existence, I can repurpose The Lone Rider comic art, combine it with Orville Peck song lyrics, and bring this dream one step closer to reality. So saddle-up cowboys and cowgirls, it’s going to be a wild ride!
Coming soon… Orville Peck as the Lone Rider in “Big Sky”
