Others have responded my two cents: this was a stupid marketing ploy to create shock value and sell comics. Whether a character's *** or not isn't the issue. Rawhide Kid never was. Quesada decided to make him a "dandy" and did the character wrong. Jack Kirby's probably spinning in his grave over this.

WKTf, are there any good Rawhide Kid tpbs out there? I would love to read this and compare it to Jonah Hex. The Showcase Jonah Hex is awesome, but I'm not sure marvel has done anything like that for this character.

General question:
When did JQ become EIC, and what qualifications did he use to get that position?

First he and Jimmy P started Event Comics, then marvel invited them over to manage a newly started line called Marvel Knights that gives oldie but not so popular characters a new "lease on life". The success of Marvel Knights allowed JQ to be considered for the position of EIC once it became vacant.

None devoted solely to the RK, but he is featured in John Ostrander's fairly recent Blaze of Glory and Apache Skies.
Happy to see you're getting into the western comics, BC.
