Masked Western Heroes/Heroines
« on: February 22, 2013, 11:04:02 PM »

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of Masked Western Heroes/Heroines along with their partner/sidekick with what title and issue #'s they appeared in? Consider this a game of sorts? Anyone up for this?

Comprehensive? Probably not. But here's a start:

Well, Mr Goldenage, I'll let the others inform you about the guys in American comics but, I think you knew this was coming, there are a number of masked cowboy heroes from other countries' comics and while the Wiki entry referances "foreign" cowboys, little mention is made of some well known masked men. On CB+ you will find The Phantom Ranger (Australia and reprinted in Brazil, if memory serves - https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=23356 )
I'll get back to you with info. on Maschera Nera, Masque Noir (a different Black Mask) and, I hope a couple of British masked cowboys.  It'll take me a wee while to dig through some boxes. 
By the way, don't exclude Tex as he sometimes took a masked i/d for some reason or other which I now can't remember.  Please have a trawl through the Spanish section, you'll find a few there as well.
My favourites are Gunmaster, Maschera Nera, Phantom Ranger.

I would have been sorely dissapointed had you not responded Mr. Broon. I am so glad you are here to keep up the international side of all things masked. You sir are a great asset, Thank you. I will look into the UK and AU books carefully as I have surmised that the UK and AU (As well as the Continent) seem to prefer westerns (masked or otherwise) to the superhero/costumed crimefighter types. Sci-Fi was another "biggie" for the Euro's and the UK/AU peeps. Thanks again Paw!

This just goes to show how F***** up Wikipedia is. I just found a page there called "Weird West", and on the entire page, including the section talking about comics, NOT ONE mention of Magazine Enterprises' GHOST RIDER!!!

So, add something. That's how a wiki works.
