Rawhide Kid

A young orphan raised in the American West, the Rawhide Kid became a skilled gunfighter who rode the frontier as a wandering hero, often wrongly branded an outlaw despite fighting on the side of justice.

Few Marvel heroes can claim a trail as long as the Rawhide Kid's — this rootin', tootin' Western gunslinger first rode onto the scene in 1955, brought to life by the talented trio of Don Rico, Joe Maneely, and Bob Brown, making him one of Marvel's earliest and most enduring frontier icons. Spanning an remarkable 71 years of publication history, from the mid-fifties all the way into the present era, the Kid has proven that a great Western character never really rides off into the sunset. His adventures have unfolded across The Rawhide Kid, The Mighty Marvel Western, and Apache Skies, and he's shared dusty trails and dangerous showdowns with fellow Western legends like Two-Gun Kid and Kid Colt — about as distinguished a roster of Marvel gunslingers as you could hope to find. With a key collector's issue to his name and a legacy stretching across generations of comics fans, the Rawhide Kid is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand just how deep and rich Marvel's history truly runs.
