Kit Carson

Kit Carson appears in the Tex Willer Western comic series as a trusted companion to the iconic Texas Ranger Tex Willer, riding alongside him as a fellow frontiersman and ally in adventures across the American West.

Few Western comics figures boast a half-century of continuous publication, but Kit Carson has done exactly that — riding through the pages of Tex Willer and Maxi Tex since his Bronze Age debut in 1975 and still going strong into 2025. Published by Hjemmet / Egmont across an impressive 108 catalogued appearances, this is a character with real staying power in the world of Western comics. He keeps legendary company, sharing adventures with the likes of Tiger Jack, Kit Willer, and the notorious Mefisto, which tells you something about the dramatic range of the stories he inhabits. With at least one key collector-significant issue to his name, Kit Carson is a rewarding find for any fan drawn to the rich, enduring tradition of European Western comics.
