Sundance Kid

Few characters capture the scrappy, independent spirit of early Bronze Age comics quite like the Sundance Kid, who rode onto the scene in 1971 courtesy of the creative team of Len Wein and Dick Ayers for Skywald — a publisher that carved out its own bold niche outside the Big Two. A Western hero in an era when the genre still had real traction on the spinner rack, this Kid made his mark across The Sundance Kid and Cowboy Adventure Library, the kind of pulpy, saddle-worn titles that defined Skywald's adventurous catalog. With Len Wein — a writer who would go on to shape some of comics' most iconic figures — on hand for the debut, there's genuine pedigree behind this frontier figure. A rare find for collectors with a taste for Bronze Age Westerns and the independent publishers who kept the genre alive.
