Publication history

Lance premiered on Sunday, June 5, 1955, launching in approximately 100 newspapers. The strip was self-syndicated by artist Warren Tufts, creator of the 1949-1955 strip Casey Ruggles.[1] Originally formatted like Prince Valiant, with text in captions but minus word balloons, it eventually switched to using word balloons. The last full page was #85.[citation needed] After that, the strip appeared in half page and tab formats.[2]

A daily strip began January 14, 1957 and lasted at least until February 15, 1958.[1] Tufts's Casey Ruggles was referenced when Ruggles made a brief appearance in the daily strip.[citation needed]

The final Lance strip was #261, published May 29, 1960.[3]

Characters and story

Lance starred U.S. cavalry officer Lance St. Lorne, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in the mid-19th century. In tales of settling the Old West frontier, the character crossed paths with such figures as Kit Carson and others. Comics historian Don Markstein said the strip was "characterized by high-quality stories and art, but also by historical accuracy. Unlike, say, Lucky Luke, when Lance met someone who had really lived, that person was as old as he'd actually have been at the time, and in circumstances congruent with the known course of the person's life."[4]

Recognition

Comics critic Bill Blackbeard rated Lance "the best of the page-high adventure strips undertaken after the 1930s".[5]
