	Rawhide Kid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After a hiatus, the Rawhide Kid got revamped for the ramping-up Marvel by writer Stan Lee, legendary penciler Jack Kirby and inker Ayers.
		Fury and His Howling Commandos, The Rawhide Kid was now a freewheeling romp of energetic, almost slapstick action across cattle ranches, horse troughs, corrals, canyons and swinging chandeliers.
		The Rawhide Kid reappeared in the four-issue limited series Blaze of Glory (2000), by writer John Ostrander and artist Leonardo Manco, and a 2002 four-issue sequel, Apache Skies, by the same creative team.

		Rawhide Kid hadn't been published in some time, and the spin machine seemed to be conveniently forgetting about Northstar, who also had a mini-series at one time.
		The Rawhide Kid as portrayed here isn't just gay, which might have made for an interesting angle and a possibly serious story (as Marvel protested "Slap Leather" would be).
		At least The Rawhide Kid is still a hero, and the children of Wells Junction only know and worship his reputation as a gunslinger on the side of right.

		The Kid was introduced by Marvel in 1955, during a lull in superhero popularity, but the character hasn’t had his own comic book since 1979.
		Kids love comics associated with their favorite Japanese cartoons, such as Dragon Ball, but a decade of price increases and writing for the older " fanboys " has almost eliminated the pre-teen audience for standard superhero comics.
		Kids who aren’t reading comics become adults who aren’t reading comics, and the customer base for these expensive graphic novels and reprint collections gets smaller and smaller.

		Mind you, no one even hinted that the Rawhide Kid was a homosexual until a couple of weeks ago, when rumors surfaced that Marvel was planning to out its red-headed gunslinger in a new, six-issue miniseries published under its mature-readers label, MAX.
		The outing of the Rawhide Kid has all the marks of a cheap publicity stunt.

		Now most of this information is a history lesson on the Apache Kid, to let us know why the Rawhide Kid would come looking for the men who gunned him down, but there's also enough here that one can see that he was a good man who was shot in the back by a coward.
		I also enjoyed the idea that this second party leaves the Rawhide Kid standing on very shaky ground, as after the man stepped forward to give this second party a hand, he finds his offer is simply used by this person to leave him holding the bag while they make their escape.

		The Kid may be the first gay lead character in a Western saga, but outwardly gay characters in comic books have been around for at least 10 years.
		But the Rawhide Kid is neither a secondary character nor a figure more recognized for the team of heroes he leads.
		Rawhide writer Zimmerman only hints at the Kid's homosexuality with the hero's apparent — and stereotypical — effeminate mannerisms, love of style and neatness, abhorrence of violence and slight crush on Wild Bill Hickcock.

		Nor was it the last — but of Marvel's old-time western series, only Rawhide Kid continued after it was gone (and by an even slimmer margin).
		Kid Colt was an immediate hit, and the publisher exploited him to the hilt.
		But while this one makes himself look a lot like the original Kid Colt (because he's a western buff), he's actually a mutant of some kind, infused with DNA from a horse-like alien.

		The Kid and several allies were seemingly killed in the conclusion of that conflict when the Two-Gun Kid destroyed a massive oil deposit the conspiracy had hoped to exploit.

	Rawhide Kid #1-2 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		With the news that the new series would take a tongue-in-cheek look at the Western genre and that the Kid would be coming out of the closet, fans reacted in a number of ways.
		The debate basically came down to "Comics are for kids, and you shouldn't expose them to such horrible things as homosexuality" versus "Well, this is just a story." Of course, the debate somewhat ignored the fact that the book is published by Marvel's adult-only imprint MAX, and features large parental advisory labels on the cover.
		The Rawhide Kid is anything but a victim.

		Then the Kid is hassled by Hammer Hogan, who claims to have defeated the Kid, so the Kid finally reveals himself, and mops up the bar with Hogan before fleeing.
		Even having just seen him, everyone in the bar gives a description of him as tall, with four huge guns and fists the size of hammers, when in fact we're told he was only five foot three inches, 125 pounds, regular, maybe even small, size hands and two colt.45s.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: The Rawhide Kid by Ron Zimmerman and John Severin
		Much of the current controversy surrounds Marvel's The Rawhide Kid, a 'gay western' title launched earlier this year and soon to be published as a graphic novel.
		The Kid is a postmodern makeover of a defunct Fifties character, originally inspired by the popularity of the Rawhide TV show.
		From his debut in the mid 50s, the Rawhide Kid battled the outlaws of the Wild West as part of a popular western-themed stable of titles, including The Two-Gun Kid and Kid Colt.

		From 1955 to 1979, Rawhide Kid battled the outlaws of the Wild West as part of a Western-themed series that included other heroes like the Two-Gun Kid and Kid Colt.
		At the time, nobody ever asked if Rawhide Kid dated any girls, or why he seemed so shy around them--especially after bravely rescuing them from the hands of evildoers.
		To be fair, the new "Rawhide Kid" isn't supposed to be gay porn.

		Kid Colt, it turns out, is the blond one who wears a red shirt, a blue bandanna around his neck, and a fl-spotted white vest and a white hat.
		The Rawhide Kid is a fairly short red-head, who dresses in a double-breasted leather jacket (I think it is), with four big buttons down either side of the central panel, and a red-and-yellow triangle arm-band design worked into it.
		The Two-Gun Kid wheres a blue shirt, and orange vest with fl sports, a blue hat, and a blue mask (of the wrap around the eyes with two holes cut in the cloth variety).

	Chuck Dixon on RAWHIDE KID and homosexuality - Tartsville
		Dixon's comments were in the context of the Rawhide Kid as a children's character and he was commenting on the Larry King show with Stan Lee.
		As kids we all saw that Mickey had Minnie, Kermit had Miss Piggy, Popeye had Olive Oyl, etc. Again, these weren't graphic depictions of straight sexuality--in cartoons the raciest thing you'd usually see is two characters smooching with a heart over their heads.
		Now, I don't have any kids, but for what it's worth I see a lot of adults talking about protecting children from media, and what it looks like to to me is that they want society as a whole to do it rather than doing it themselves.

		He's discussing The Rawhide Kid, a new five-issue limited series whose title character is a mite-well, a lot-pink in the saddle.
		The Rawhide Kid actually isn't entirely new in town-only his acknowledged queer status is. Originated in 1955, the Kid has since fronted several volumes of his own comic, the last of which was an unspectacular four-issue miniseries in 1985.
		The Rawhide Kid's five-issue arc (possibly the first of many, depending on sales) begins as a gang of rogue cowboys invades a small town.
