This Hombre's on the Wrong Track! "The Man Who Robbed the Express!"



I love back-up features in comics. Even better, I love when the back-up takes the form of a short story; when it's just a short, one-off tale with no recurring characters featured.

Today, I bring you such a tale, masterfully rendered by Dick Ayers with a script crafted by some unknown fella by the name of Stan Lee. From Rawhide Kid #25 -December 1961, here's "The Man Who Robbed the Express!"

Rawhide Kid #4- "Bang the Drum Slowly!"



I meant to have this posted last night, but I had an offer of overtime I couldn't pass up. So, if y'all have been waiting to read this, I'm sorry for the delay. So, without further ado, here's the conclusion to 1985's Rawhide Kid mini-series...

























You know, I still think of this comic whenever I hear "Streets of Laredo".

Rawhide Kid #3 - "Slave!"



When I first read this, I really dug the character of the bounty hunter. I felt he should have gotten his own series. Although I still feel he's interesting, as a grown man I have to question the white boots. Also, the cut-down Winchester always puzzles me. Sure, it looks cool as Hell, but if you cut it down, it can't hold any more rounds than a revolver, and won't be as accurate as a rifle... I mean, maybe if it was chambered for the big rounds, like a 30.6, but then it would hold even fewer bullets.

Where was I? Oh, yeah, Enjoy Rawhide Kid part three, "Slave!"
