The Apache Kid (Alan Krandal) is a fictional Old West character in the Marvel Comics universe, mostly seen in stories from Marvel’s 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics. This character was named after, but is unrelated to, the real-life Native American man known as The Apache Kid (Haskay-bay-nay-natyl).

The Apache Kid (Alan Krandal) debuted as the cover feature, drawn by a young John Buscema, of Two-Gun Western #5 (cover-dated Nov. 1950). The writer co-creator is unknown. He received his own title the following month, premiering as The Apache Kid #53 (Dec. 1950, picking up the numbering from Reno Browne, Hollywood’s Greatest Cowgirl) and then running as Apache Kid #2-19 (Feb. 1951 – Jan. 1952; Dec. 1954 – April 1956).

Stories also ran in the omnibus titles Two-Gun Western #5-9 (Nov. 1950 – Aug. 1951) and Wild Western #15-22 (April 1951 – June 1952). 
 After that initial Buscema story and at least two by Joe Maneely (who would also do many of the later covers), the bulk of the book’s run would be penciled and inked by future Silver Age X-Men artist Werner Roth.

After The Apache Kid ended with #19 (April 1956), its numbering continued as the anthology series Western Gunfighters, where the character did not appear.

Apache Kid reprints, however, did appear in Marvel’s 1970s omnibus series also titled Western Gunfighters. The Kid shared its pages with new Ghost Rider (also known as Phantom Rider) stories, as well as anthological and Western-hero reprints of a changing lineup that included Atlas’ Black Rider (here renamed Black Mask), the Western Kid, Wyatt Earp, and later Kid Colt. Apache Kid reprints ran from #2-33, the final issue (Oct. 1970 – Nov. 1975).

Comics Compilations made by Voltaire57

 

SeulementBD (Only Comics) is a website that features a new French comic book every day. Three Sundays a month these albums are in English, mostly American ones. All of them are preceded by an introduction that gives various insights, about the authors or related to the historical context. These forewords are always in French, while the comics remain in English.

Quite often these albums feature complete series but there are also anthologies dedicated to a particular author i.e. Alex Toth, magazine i.e. The Unexpected or character i.e. Blackbow the Cheyenne. These albums are almost always presented as part of a collection entitled Bibliotheca Virtualis (Virtual Library).
