saynomore Wrote:P.S. Boo to Marvel Comics for making the new Rawhide Kid gay. Are they trying to say something about leather?
P.P.S. Did you read Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandoes and Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders? (Damn, there's that leather thing again)
The original Rawhide Kid was cool with the white horse and the blue outfit. I liked him better than the two-gun kid. I heard that Marvel had made him a gay character in a modern revision, but that just seems weird.
I absolutely used to read "Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos" and could never figure out exactly how he became "Nick Fury" of S.H.I.E.L.D. I also used to read "Sgt. Rock," which I liked better and I don't remember the title unless it was "Haunted Tank," which may have just been a part of Sgt. Rock or some other comic book as the story that went in the back. The ghost of General Lee on his white horse used to follow the tank around.
For those of you who never read comics as a kid, some used to have the main story, then a shorter story.
One of the weirdest ones was "Elongated Man," which I think used to be in the back of Action Comics (a Superman title) or "The Brave and the Bold", which was always a team-up of two DC heroes. Or it might have been another DC comic. Elongated Man could stretch like Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, only he predates Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic). There also used to be a character somewhere called Plastic Man that also predates Reed Richards.
