The Outlaw Kid

A reprint-heavy revival of a 1950s Western hero, Marvel’s The Outlaw Kid (1970–1975) ran for 30 issues, mixing classic tales by Stan Lee and Doug Wildey with new adventures by writers like Gary and Mike Friedrich. The series follows the masked gunslinger Lance Temple, a lone rider meting out frontier justice, with artwork frequently handled by Dick Ayers and Al Williamson. Though not a landmark title, it kept Marvel’s Western tradition alive during the early 1970s, offering a nostalgic counterpoint to the publisher’s superhero boom.
