Kirby Westerns

Jack Kirby worked on many western comics during his career, including Kid Colt Outlaw, Two Gun Kid and the Rawhide Kid.  Sadly, an era too often ignored by modern readers especially as the titles became reprint titles towards the end of their runs (with some covers duplicated but altered).

Two great examples here are Kid Colt Outlaw #215 (February, 1977), which reprints Kid Colt Outlaw #121 (March, 1965) and Two Gun Kid #134 (December, 1976), which reprints Two Gun Kid #75 (May, 1965).

Cowboy Vs Sharks

Not really that many comics that mix cowboys and sharks, but there is this cover of Kid Colt Outlaw #228 (February, 1979) by Gene Colan and Dave Cockrum that applies, though the main story more involved Kid Colt battling with the dread pirate, Captain Barracuda.

Still, as the second to last issue of the series, which had turned into a reprint title at this time, it did feature a reprint of the story that originally appeared in Kid Colt Outlaw #109 (which was then reprinted in #131 and #175), with story by Stan Lee and Jack Keller, and covers here by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, making this comic a great segue from Western Comics Month, Shark Week and next month's Kirby Comics Month!
