Stan Lynde

Stan Lynde (American 1931–2013) was a cartoonist, illustrator, and writer best known for creating the nationally syndicated comic strip Rick O'Shay (1958-1981). Set in the American West, the strip combined humor, adventure, and thoughtful social commentary, helping establish Lynde as an important voice in Western comics and illustration.
