The Western Kid is a fictional Old West character in comic books published by Marvel Comics, and the star of Western feature published by Marvel's 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics. ==Publication history== Tex Dawson, the Western Kid, debuted in ''Western Kid'' #1 (cover-dated Nov. 1954), from publisher Atlas Comics, a predecessor of Marvel Comics. The character was created by an unknown writer and penciler-inker John Romita Sr., who the following decade would become one of Spider-Man's signature artists. The feature, drawn exclusively by Romita, ran through issue #17 (Aug. 1957), with cover art by Romita, Joe Maneely, John Severin, and, for one cover each, Carl Burgos, Russ Heath, and Syd Shores.〔(The Western Kid ) (character) at the Grand Comics Database〕 The character resurfaced as the lead feature of the omnibus title ''Gunsmoke Western'' #51 (March 1959), in a story written by Atlas/Marvel editor-in-chief Stan Lee and drawn by Dick Ayers.〔 Western Kid reprints appeared in Marvel's 1970s omnibus series ''Western Gunfighters'' #3-6 and 17-33 (Dec.1970 - Sept. 1971, Sept. 1973 - Nov. 1975). In-between, the character starred in the reprint series ''The Western Kid'' vol. 2, #1-5 (Dec. 1971 - Aug. 1972) — the first issue of which sported a new cover by original artist Romita — and in ''Rawhide Kid'' #105 (Nov. 1972) and ''Gun-Slinger'' #1-3 (Jan.-June 1973), a series reflecting the character's temporary new name. The first issue, with a cover drawn by Jim Steranko, was titled ''Tex Dawson, Gun-Slinger''.〔 The character returned in ''Apache Skies'' (2002), a four-issue miniseries starring the Rawhide Kid and two persons called the Apache Kid: Dazii Aloysius Kare, and his wife, Rosa. This was a sequel to the miniseries ''Blaze of Glory'' (2000), which specifically retconned that the naively clean-cut Marvel Western stories of years past were merely dime novel fictions of the characters' actual lives. 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「Western Kid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
