American Update: The Two Gun Kid Rides Again!
*Western: One of Marvel’s ‘Big Three’ of Western Heroes is refreshed this update, with new issues added to our stock from 1963’s #64 to 1968’s #92, with Matt Hawk, crusading lawyer, taking up the masked identity of the Two-Gun Kid to tackle outlaws beyond the reach of the law. Dick Ayers, Don Heck and Ogden Whitney were among the prominent artists on this run, which began with #60 (when the previous iteration of the Two-Gun Kid was revealed to be a dime-novel hero who ‘inspired’ young Mr. Hawk) and ran until 1977, though the series became largely reprint after 1970. In the years in question, though, Two-Gun followed in the footsteps of Rawhide Kid and Kid Colt in fighting a series of increasingly fantastic menaces, including many proto-supervillains such as Goliath, the Rattler, and the Silver Sidewinder. Later (much later), Two-Gun was integrated into the Marvel Universe proper, in Avengers and She-Hulk, so every true Marvelite has to load up their saddlebags with his adventures!
