Apache Kid (comics)
|
Apache Kid was the name of a fictional character, a cowboy and gunslinger in the Old West of the Marvel Comics universe. The Apache Kid was a Caucasian named Alan Krandal who was raised by the Apaches after being orphaned. He fought against outlaws, both white and Native American, and generally protected the peoples of both groups. Unlike many other Western comics of the 1950s, Apache Kid generally presented the indigenous Americans in the same light as the whites, and made a distinction between the various tribes. The Apache Kid first appeared in Two-Gun Western volume 1 #5 (1950), and received his own series shortly thereafter. Apache Kid was retitled to Western Gunfighters as of #20.
