Billy the Kid in Sun Weekly (UK) Volume 1. In the UK, there has always been a fascination with the American West, perhaps because it matches in some strange way their own days of Robin Hood and chivalry, but with a more modern flair. The Billy the Kid who appeared weekly in The Sun in the 1950s was ÒThe Lone AvengersÓ, a peaceful, even meek, rancher who secretly fought against the lawless elements which threatened the territory. While the character bore little resemblance to the ruthless killer who actually carried the name, it was great reading. Hardcover, Color Covers with B&W Interiors.
