First as Strongbow in Comet and Blackbow in Swift.
Strongbow was resurrected as Blackbow the Cheyenne in Swift comic in 1961 and
joined Eagle in 1963, so Holmes must technically be his creator as the whole
secret identity idea which formed such an important part of Blackbow’s
adventures was lifted straight from the early Strongbow stories.” (Both
versions had the same secret identity, Dr. Jim Barnaby.)
“There are two reasons for the change of name and tribe.
The Cheyenne were based further west than the
Mohawks and were much more involved in the popular post civil war period. Also
Strongbow became a popular brand of cider, so the name was changed. For most of
his time in Eagle, Blackbow was drawn by Frank Humphris. Don Lawrence also drew
several strips for Eagle Annual. His adventures in Eagle were written by Edward
Cowan.”
