Many heroes are born out of tragedy, and that was certainly the case with Bud Steele; when he watched his father get murdered, he made a solemn vow to remove the scourge of killers in the Wild West. He trained for years to learn the lightning-fast cross-draw, from whence he got his name, and atop his faithful horse Thunder, he rides the range to fight for right. THE CROSS-DRAW KID appeared in every issue of Western Adventures (#1-6, 1948-1949), and now three generations later Gwandanaland and Midcentury Comics revive this amazing character, appearing in his first solo collection in print, ever!
