The Ringo Kid is a fictional Western hero in the Marvel Comics' universe, whose comic book series was originally released by the company's 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics. A lesser-known character than the company's Kid Colt, Rawhide Kid, or Two-Gun Kid, he also appeared in a reprint series in the 1970s. The character is unrelated to the actor John Wayne's "Ringo Kid" in the Western film ''Stagecoach''. ==Publication history== Atlas Comics' Ringo Kid debuted in the first issue of a series billed on its trademarked cover logo as ''Ringo Kid'' for all but two issues (#1 and #3, cover-billed as ''Ringo Kid Western'').〔The series' copyrighted title as indicated in its postal indicia was ''The Ringo Kid Western''.〕 Created by an unknown writer and artist Joe Maneely, it ran 21 issues (cover-dated Aug. 1954 - Sept. 1957), drawn primarily by either Maneely or Fred Kida. Stories also ran occasionally in ''Wild Western'', beginning with issue #38 (Nov. 1954), initially drawn by Maneely, with artist John Severin taking the reins in at least issues #46-47 (Nov. 1955 - Jan. 1956). Ringo was the lead feature in the two-issue anthology series ''Western Trails'' #1-2 (May & July 1957).〔(Ringo Kid ) (character) at AtlasTales.com〕〔(''The Ringo Kid Western'' (Marvel, 1954 Series) ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 He also appears on the cover of ''Wild Western'' #39 (Dec. 1954), but not in an interior story.〔(''Wild Western'' #39 ) at AtlasTales.com〕〔(''Wild Western'' #39 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 A five-page story entitled "The Ringo Kid" in Atlas' ''Western Outlaws & Sheriffs'' #73 (June 1952) is unrelated,〔(''Western Outlaws & Sheriffs'' #73 ) at AtlasTales.com〕 as is the four-page story "Ringo Kid" in ''Wild Western'' #26 (Feb. 1953).〔(''Wild Western'' #26 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 Marvel reprinted the series in ''Ringo Kid'' vol. 2, #1-30 (Jan. 1970 - Nov. 1976), often with the original Maneely covers. The Ringo Kid made his first appearance in present-day stories in a time travel tale in the superhero-team comic ''The Avengers'' #142 (Dec. 1975) Marvel writer Steve Englehart planned a revival series at about this time, with art by Dick Ayers: "Every series I did took off so Marvel kept giving me more. I relaunched this classic Western — always my favorite of Marvel's true cowboy heroes (as opposed to the Two-Gun Kid, whom I also liked but who was more a superhero) — with classic Western artist Dick Ayres (). But after this first issue was drawn and scripted, Marvel decided to do more superheroes and fewer cowboys, so it was set aside before inking".〔 Additional (WebCitation archive ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ringo Kid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
