Enter: Kid Colt, Doc Holliday, Annie Oakley, Billy the Kid, Red Wolf and the most overrated gun in the West: The Two-Gun Kid! We guarantee the Wild West can't get any wilder. From CNN... Marvel Comics to unveil gay gunslinger Marvel Comics plans to break new ground in the comic book industry by introducing the first openly gay title character in a comic book. The character will appear in a revival of the 1950s title, "The Rawhide Kid." Marvel expects a February debut. The new series pairs the original artist, John Severin, now 86, with Ron Zimmerman, a writer for the "Howard Stern Show." The Rawhide Kid has been a Marvel character since the 1950s both as a main and a secondary character. However, it was not until Zimmerman approached Marvel with his idea of a homosexual Rawhide Kid that sexuality was mentioned in the discussion of the character. Although shy with girls, the original Rawhide Kid was not intended to be gay. The new version uses double entendres and euphemisms to reveal his homosexuality without saying anything explicitly. Based on a blurb on Marvel's Web site, the tone may be campy. In a bubble in the first edition of the series, Rawhide Kid comments about the Lone Ranger: "I think that mask and the powder blue outfit are fantastic. I can certainly see why the Indian follows him around." Brian Reinert, Marvel's public relations officer, said that Marvel has always been "interested in tapping into stories that are relevant today." Although Rawhide Kid is the first gay title character, Marvel does have several existing gay characters, such as North Star of the "X-Men" comic book series. A RARE EXCLUSIVE THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN MASS MARKET OUTLETS AND COULD ONLY BE FOUND IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY STORES!

LONE RANGER & TONTO #1 COMIC BOOK SILVER WESTERN 1994 VINTAGE RARE!! JOHNNY DEPP

LONE RANGER AND TONTO #1 COMIC BOOK! HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM. The upcoming film starring Johnny Depp as Tonto owes a great deal to this comic book incarnation. The Lone Ranger and Tonto, possibly the most famous Western heroes in American culture, thanks to their numerous appearances on film, radio, television, books, and comics, are given a new life and a new attitude in Topps’ four-issue mini-series from 1994. Any contemporary revival of the Lone Ranger has to deal with the problem of Tonto, originally an offensive, racist stereotype of an American Indian. Topps’ creative team—Joe Lansdale, Timothy Truman, and Rick Magyar—actually makes Tonto the central character, expressing thoughts and attitudes that the reader can relate to, while the Lone Ranger appears to be something of an eccentric. The tension between the two, never expressed in the original depictions of the characters, takes center stage in the new series, giving it drama and interest beyond the usual good-guy/bad-guy clichés of the Western genre. THIS ITEM WAS ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY SHOPS AND CANNOT BE FOUND IN ANY MASS MARKET RETAIL OUTLET.
