 I've talked to Stan Lynde, who wrote and drew "Rick O'Shay" two or three times, but he isn't a comic book artist. "Rick O'Shay" was a daily newspaper strip which started in the late fifties, and ran through the sixties and seventies. He also drew and scripted another western comic strip in the eighties but I don't believe it ran for long and I cannot remembe what it was called. Lynde was born in southern Montana, grew up on ranch near Crow Agency, and now runs a small press, Cottonwood Press, which publishes volumes of Rick O'Shay and western novels which are mostly written by Lynde. He's a cowboy who had a natural talent for drawing and storytelling, and he's not full of himself. He has a good sense of humor, and his strip did too.  I know he went to one comic book convention when he had the first volume or two of Rick O'Shay read for sale, and I don't believe he ever went to another one. I doubt anyone here has ever heard of him or remembers Rick O'Shay.

Rick Norwood's Comics Revue has been reprinting Lynde's Rick O'Shay for a while now and I, for one, am enjoying it. 
His strips that followed Rick O'Shay were Latigo and Grass Roots.  Neither had long runs.  The former maybe three-four years and the later around a year-it was a panel strip.  Cottonwood Press reprinted those strips as well as the first several years of Rick O'Shay but I haven't seen any reprints from them in some years so assumed they gave up on any further efforts.

It's probably not an "interesting" story to anybody who isn't me, but due to bad scheduling and pouring rain keeping everybody else away, I ended up spending an entire afternoon talking to Fred Hembeck at a tiny comic shop.  Really good guy, and a good sport, considering that he basically hauled down the middle of nowhere to hang out with a high school kid in a dead shop.
