"The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine..."

The Cisco Kid was the first Hispanic multi-media superstar, hitting books, movies, radio, comic books, newspaper strips, and eventually, television, predating Zorro in each media (except Zorro never had a radio show)!
As created by legendary writer O Henry, in the short story "The Caballero's Way" in 1907. the Kid was neither Hispanic nor a hero!
A 1914 silent movie of "The Caballero's Way" altered the character to the version that became famous...a wandering hero, called "The Robin Hood of the Old West", who, with his sidekick, righted wrongs without killing, but with lots and LOTS of shooting, just like the Lone Ranger!
We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ are proud to reintroduce the classic Western character to a new audience in our line of products in the Western Comic Adventures™ line.
Just go to The Cisco Kid & Pancho for a look at 6 different designs, including his 1st comic appearance!
They'll have you going "Oh, Cisco!" "Oh, Pancho!" just like Duncan Renaldo & Leo Carrillo did in the classic tv series!
(And they'd make great Cinco De Mayo gifts!)
