"Indian or White Man?" The Apache Kid was
Alan Krandal, a Caucasian who had been raised by Apache
chief Red Hawk and his wife after being orphaned.
When grown, he took on a "civilian" identity
as cowboy Aloysius Kare. He used his Apache Kid identity
to fight outlaws, both White and Native American.
Apache Kid was one of the few Western comics of the
1950s in which distinctions were made between various
tribes and individuals, rather than lumping all Indians
together as one tribe. |
