The Western genre in comic books refers to comics that are set in the American Old West, a period of time in the late 1800s characterized by cowboys, gunslingers, and Native Americans. This genre has a long history in comics, dating back to the early days of the medium, and has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years.
One of the earliest examples of Western comics is "Wild Bill Hickok" which was first published in 1936, and ran for several years. This comic strip followed the adventures of the real-life gunslinger, Wild Bill Hickok, and set a precedent for future Western comics.
In the 1950s and 1960s, comics such as "The Lone Ranger," "Hopalong Cassidy," and "The Cisco Kid" helped to establish the Western genre in comics. These comics were known for their action-adventure stories and for their depiction of the iconic characters of the American Old West.
With the decline of the Western genre in movies and television in the 1970s, the Western genre in comics also saw a decline. However, in recent years the Western genre has seen a resurgence in popularity in comics, with comics such as "Jonah Hex," "The Lone Ranger," "The Six-Gun Gorilla," and "The Sheriff of Babylon" gaining critical acclaim and popularity.
The Western genre in comics has also been influenced by the popularity of Western movies, TV shows and video games. Many Western comics have been adapted from movies, TV shows or games, and many comics creators have been influenced by Western movies, TV shows and games in their work.
