Book excerpt: Featuring stories of the Cross-Draw Kid and Sheriff Sal, Ace Comics' Western Adventures series was one of the earliest western comics series. Beginning in 1948, the comic's main characters became instant classics that inspired other characters in different publishers' western series. Having inspired characters like Apache Kid, Rawhide Kid and Two-Gun Kid, Western Adventures' Cross-Draw Kid was a young vigilante with a quick draw. After seeing his father shot in the back by a desperate bushwhacker, the young hero practiced and perfected the cross-draw, earning him his feared nickname. Western Adventures also boasts one of the first and only female gunslingers, Sheriff Sal. After the town of Red Dog elected Sally Starr its sheriff, laughter rang out across town square, over the canyon and past the grazing lands. Outlaws and desperados headed toward the "easy target," but Sally and her stallion, Big Red, stood up for justice and defeated any outlaws that came their way. While Ace Comics only produced half a dozen issues of Western Adventures, the series had quite an impact on the fan base and comic world, inspiring several western comic collections to appear on shelves in the early 1950s.

Download or read book Redrawing the Western written by William Grady and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the Western began to flourish in literature, it also began to appear in illustrations and early comic strips of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. William Grady charts the history of the genre in comic strips and books from its origins in this period through its mid-century heyday to its gradual decline in the 60s and 70s, ending with a brief look at the current "afterlife" of Western comics over the last few decades. In doing so, he also argues for the importance of comics in the development of the Western alongside both literature and film/television. He explains how the mythic-historical settings of Western comics allowed the young readers at whom they were aimed to explore different aspects of their contemporary society, wrestle with taboo topics, and envision different futures for the US. Grady begins by exploring the origins of the Western genre in the late 19th century and shows the importance of illustrated narratives and cartoons in helping readers visualize the West, thus establishing much of its iconic imagery of frontier life, including racist stereotypes of Indigenous Peoples. He moves forward in time to show how the West became mythologized and fantastic elements were introduced into the real landscape in comic strips such as Gasoline Alley and Krazy Kat, until the Great Depression, where strips emphasized the escapist adventures of the West in Red Ryder, Lone Ranger, and others. The postwar Western spread into comic books and was used alternately as positive and negative commentaries on the Cold War and America's place in the world, but in the era of Vietnam and Watergate, Western comics portrayed darker reflections of American culture and history and eventually more or less died out. Despite the genre's apparent demise, Grady ends by examining its ongoing influence over the last decades as its tropes are used to interrogate and subvert the idea of the mythic West and explore diverse perspectives on the genre"--
