Durango Kid

A frontier Western hero featured in the Scandinavian anthology Seriemagasinet, this Durango Kid was a creation of French comics writers Jean Ollivier and André Gaudelette, riding alongside other Western figures in a long-running series of frontier adventure stories.

Riding out of the Golden Age, Durango Kid made their debut in the pages of Seriemagasinet in 1954, brought to life by the creative team of Jean Ollivier and André Gaudelette for Semic. What makes this figure particularly intriguing is the cross-cultural company they keep — sharing pages with Western icons like Jonah Hex and Tomahawk across a publishing span that stretched a remarkable 32 years, from 1954 all the way to 1986. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of frontier adventure storytelling that Durango Kid kept riding through so many eras of comics history, a rare Golden Age presence that outlasted countless contemporaries.
