Apache Kid was the name of a fictional character, a cowboy and gunslinger in the Old West of the Marvel Comicsuniverse. The Apache Kid was a Caucasian named Alan Krandal who was raised by the Apaches after being orphaned. He fought against outlaws, both white and Native American, and generally protected the peoples of both groups. Unlike many other Western comics of the 1950s, Apache Kid generally presented the indigenous Americans in the same light as the whites, and made a distinction between the various tribes. The Apache Kid first appeared in Two-Gun Western volume 1 #5 (1950), and received his own series shortly thereafter. Apache Kid was retitled to Western Gunfighters as of #20.
The ApacheKid is a fictional Old West character in the Marvel Comicsuniverse, mostly seen in stories from Marvel's 1950s precursor, Atlas Comics.
Unlike many other Western comics of the 1950s, ApacheKid generally presented the indigenous Americans in the same light as Caucasians, and made distinctions among the various tribes.
After The ApacheKid ended with #19 (April 1956), its numbering continued as the anthology series Western Gunfighters, where the character did not appear.
