Ray Ringo is a cartoon series created by William Vance, with Jacques Acar, Yves Duval, and André-Paul Duchâteau. The comic was published in Tintin Magazine.

Thème, intrigue[edit]

In 19th century Western United States, Ray Ringo is an employee of Wells Fargo working various journeys. [1]

In 1867, the Wells Fargo carries travelers, as well as gold from the Arizona gold mines. Ringo must precede the transports to avoid the attacks and to ensure the good delivery.[2]

In the runway for Santa Fe, the Indians are furious at the crossing of their territories.[2] Ringo must also count with the outlaws who covet the 200,000 dollars of gold transported. He plans to take an unusual track.[3]

Three bastards in the snow evoke thugs who, taking advantage of the bad weather, took the daughter of a senator and two chests of gold.

Amateur editors[edit]

The artist William Vance is thirty years old when he creates the series for the newspaper Tintin in 1965. This is one of his first comics.[4] He successfully created Howard Flynn the previous year. He provides both the screenplay and the drawings of the first episode of this new series that he first calls Ray Ringo, the full name of his hero. For the scenarios of some of the following episodes, he successively calls on Jacques Acar in 1966, Yves Duval in 1970, André-Paul Duchâteau in 1977.[5]

Graphisme[edit]

Vance's graphic design clearly favors very expressive close-ups with muscular action scenes, like the treatment of the good and the bad in the classic western movies at the same time.[2]

This is the first realization of Vance in the western. This essay passes with some for a "coup de maître", with a "superb" design. [3]Patrick Gaumer judges however that the graphics are uneven, because of the interval between the publications[4].

Vance will return later to the western, drawing the first two episodes of Marshall Blueberry in 1991-1993.[6]

Publication[edit]

The first two episodes of the series appear first in Tintin, in 1965 and 1966, in the form of stories to follow, with a slight shift for the Belgian version of the newspaper.[5][7]

After a silence of four years, new episodes appear in the quarterly Tintin Sélection, from 1970 to 1978. They are in the form of generally complete stories, except one in the form of chapters to follow, Three bastards in the snow.[4][5]

Three albums are published by Dargaud-Le Lombard in two stages, first in 1967-1968, then in 1978-19804. Another album, featuring former episodes of Ringo and other works by Vance, was released in 1993. Then the whole series appeared in two volumes by Le Lombard in 2004, in "Tout Vance", volumes 8 and 9.[6]
