Kid Cowboy

In the early 1950s, Ziff-Davis saddled up for a short but spirited run with Kid Cowboy, a ten-issue comic that rode the tail end of the Western genre's golden age. Anchored by writer Leon Lazarus and a rotating posse of artists including Al Carreño, Gene Colan, and Joe Maneely, the series followed youthful hero Kid Cowboy and his frontier allies—Randy Dix, Red Feather, and others—through classic tales of justice and adventure. Though brief, the title stands as a snapshot of the era's pulp energy, showcasing early work from future legends like Colan and Maneely before they defined darker corners of comics.
