This book examines the role of comics in the perpetuation of the
myth of the American West. In particular, it looks at the ways in
which lone central characters, and their acts of violence, are
posited as heroic. In doing so, the book raises questions both
about the role of women in a supposedly male space, in addition to
the portrayal of Native Americans within the context of this
violence. Various adaptations of historical figures, such as
Buffalo Bill and Billy the Kid, as well as film and television
stars such as The Lone Ranger and Dale Evans are examined in
detail. Although concentrating on American comics, examples both
from Britain and France are also analyzed.
