92 and still going strong: "Lone Ranger" artist Tom Gill

The Albuquerque Tribune has a nice feature this week on Gill, who drew the Masked Man's comic book adventures for 20 years for Dell/Gold Key.

Now a consultant with New York City's School of Visual Arts and a teacher at Westchester and Dutchess community colleges in New York, Gill talks a bit about his early days. A New York native, he admits that the Western settings in his comic book work came solely from his imagination. And he reveals where he learned to draw such great horses:

"I bought a $1 book called `How to Draw Horses: It's Fun and It's Easy,' " he says. "I studied it."
