About the series
In the late 1950s, Marvel (then Atlas Comics) briefly ventured into Western comics with The Kid from Dodge City, a two-issue series that introduced readers to a young, unnamed cowboy protagonist. Drawn primarily by the prolific Don Heck, the series offered a straightforward, action-packed glimpse into frontier life, with the first issue featuring a cover by the legendary Joe Maneely. Though short-lived, it stands as a minor but curious artifact of Marvel's pre-superhero era, showcasing the company's early exploration of the genre.
