Young Bill Hickok
Young Bill Hickok is a frontier gunslinger who exists within Alan Moore's revisionist superhero universe built around Supreme, blending mythic Wild West Americana with cape-comic storytelling. He made his debut in Supreme #42 alongside other unconventional characters populating that expansive, imaginative continuity.
A young gunslinger stepping straight out of the frontier and into the wild, revisionist superhero universe Alan Moore built around Supreme, Young Bill Hickok made his debut in 1996's Supreme #42 — a creation of Moore and Joe Bennett that speaks to the era's love of mythic Americana woven into cape comics. With only six catalogued appearances spread across Supreme and the landmark Judgment Day crossover, this is a rare, curio-grade character who shares pages with the likes of Supreme himself, Ethan Crane, and Futuregirl — a genuinely eclectic roster that hints at just how expansive and inventive Moore's corner of the Checker universe was. For collectors hunting the edges of Moore's celebrated Supreme run, Young Bill Hickok is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes deep-diving into late '90s superhero mythology so rewarding.
