Summary: Marvel got a lot of negative press over this....
Review: Zimmerman's dubious story telling efforts on Rawhide Kid only gave Marvel a lot of bad press, and comic book writers like Harlen Ellison and others denounced it for being just plain bad. Rawhide Kid is not Gay, and Marvel was quick to not give the man anymore jobs writing. GOOD RIDDENCE.

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: Absolutely fabulous! Great story, great artwork. I love this. I'm hoping Ron Zimmerman will write a sequel to this book and that Marvel will publish it.

Summary: Yeah, there's problems, but how can you not like it?
Review: The updated version of The Rawhide Kid is just plain fun. It is totally anacrinostic with its campy dialogue and situations, but it never tries to be anything else. Everything in The Rawhide Kid makes sense within the world of the comic and that's all that matters.
I'll have to admit though, sometimes the title character becomes too cliche and it seems to be making too much fun of gay people, as opposed to laughing with them. I had to push my tounge pretty far into my cheek to not get slightly offended. But those moments were few and did not distract from the whole. It really is funny. We need more gay-romance-cowboy-adventure-comic book stories out there!

Summary: HILARIOUS
Review: This book had me laughing on every page. Only the audience and the Kid are in on the "joke." The yokels think the Kid is just a snappy dresser.

Summary: Skew to the Left
Review: With the recent emergence of Western comics coming out in the market, a great deal of time and talk has come out of this. Ay first it started with Apache Skies and Blazing Glory. Now, The Rawhide Kid. And to make matters even more complicated, the hero is gay.When reading Apache Skies and Blazing Glory that were beatifully written and illustrated, the Rawhide Kid showed no indication that he was gay whatsoever. He was rough, rugged, had a stubble and long hair. His sexual orientation, like any Western comic book simply did not matter. This one, however, different. The way the character puts on his clothes and to the way he styles and grooms himself is simply not the same as the previous two books, which makes you think who is the real Rawhide. Even though it doesn't matter whethe the character was gay or not, his demeanour, which has some tinge of queer eye is simply not 1800s USA. "Puh-leeaze" and "Oh brotherrrr" are not the type of talk of that era. Though Zimmerman clearly tries to bring out the Kid's gay mannerism, his way of talking is incredulous, which takes away the book's charm. Severin's art is outstanding, but also does not make justice to the story and the character's newfound gayness. The art is rough, in your face and purely and entirely Western. This does not go great when you want to portray the softer side of a character. The work, however, is commendable given the fact that the artist is in his 80s. The book and story has garnered great publicity and made hiadlines in popular magazines when Mavel decided to make the Rawhide gay. While that did not matter, the presentation and incarnation of him in this book could have been better made. Worth the read though and recommended.
