The mighty marvel westerns

[Bionic Joe]

I recently got a big stack of TWO-GUNKID and KID COLTS from the late 50s to early 60s, And was wondering if anyone here collects or likes them, FYI i'm not looking to sell or trade em so please no PMs asking if i'm selling em, The two gunkid books i'm starting to get in to love the art

I used to have a whole whack off two gun kid and kid colt as well as rawhide and tex dawson.I love those old westerns.No new ones out there to collect right now except lone ranger and jonah hex.Congrats the Covers were awesome back then.

I believe Marvel put out a few one shot specials like a year or two ago, I rember seeing KID COLT on the news stand but i always passed it by and grabed Jonah Hex instead, With the new Jonah Hex and Lone Ranger titles only selling so-so i dout MARVEL will relaunch there westerns chacters or do a MASTERWORKS archives which is a shame

Truly a shame the age of the western is passing I'm afraid.I love them so much nothing like a great western story to pass the time.
I had heard about a rawhide kid movie a couple years back but it got tied up in court or something?
They are working on a Jonah hex movie so that is cool.But I sure would like to see marvel bring back the westerns.

Marvel destoryed the Rawhide kid years ago with that mini series which left you wondering is he or isn't he gay, The Jonah Hex movie in away was releashed back in the 70s titled THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES which IMHO is the last of the good hollywood westerns

I read a mini series a few years back called "blaze of glory" it had four of marvels old western heroes on one last ride together it was pretty good most of them died though.
Josie was an excellent film.
I think there has been a few good westerns since then though.
Unforgiven
silverado
the last outlaw
tombstone
3:10 to yuma
young guns
just to name a few.Well a few I enjoyed anyways.

i love the writing of Hex, how is Lone Ranger?

[Bionic Joe]

And here i thought i was the only one who brought Blaze of Glory But sad to say the only two western books out today is Jonah Hex which is a great read and Lone Ranger which has been decent so-far but if you want a good western tale pick up a Louis L'amour novel

I am missing issue one of blaze of glory but I have the other three...LOL
You truly are a western fan...LOL
I agree Jonah and the Ranger thats all thats going on right now.
Actually I have just started reading "The Man with No Name"
Comic series based off the eastwood character from the movies(good,bad and ugly)
It's not bad up to issue three right now and they have eluded to an appearance by tuco so it may get better.Check it out I say.The art is decent enough and the story is predictable but so far pretty good.

Who put's out MAN WITH NO NAME? somehow that escaped under my radar, Wish DC would bring back Scalp Hunter instead of BatLash never liked BatLash myself, By the way my dad was a western nut never turned of a John Wayne movie So that's how i grew to like westerns as a kid between Gunsmoke and the Duke and Eastwood and WILD WILD WEST on the bright side he never said no when i wanted a best of the west figure wish i kept them

[fallensaviour]

Dynamite comics is doing the man with no name series.It escaped my radar as well I hopped on at issue three and had to hunt out issues one and two.My dad also brought me up on the mighty western movies.To this day he calls me to tell me if a cool western is on TV.It's kind of cool actually.
