Sam Savitt - The Lone Ranger's Famous Horse Hi-Yo, Silver #29 Cover Original Art (Dell, 1959). The spirit of the Lone Ranger's famous horse, Silver, is captured in this dynamic cover scene. Western Publishing's painted covers were always a treat, and here is your chance to win a beauty! Sam Savitt's career was covered in Leo Pando's detailed article for Illustration #4, "Savitt's skills in the studio were on a par with his skills in the saddle, and that set him apart from the majority of his contemporaries. When a comic cover required a horse, Savitt was the man for the job. His unsurpassed love and knowledge of horses, combined with his artistic talents, would serve him well in a career that extended from the colorful world of comic books and pulps to highly competitive magazine, book, and advertising work and culminated in prestigious gallery and commissioned work." This spectacular painting has an image area of 11" x 15", and the art is in Excellent condition. From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.
