PRESTO KID "Floating Renegade"

We presented the origin of the Presto Kid, the Western hero without a gun...
...so now, we're going to show you his final adventure...and the costume he wore only once!
OK, it's not so much a new costume as a new color scheme for the old one.
Nitpick, nitpick...
From his first appearance in Red Mask #51 (1955) onward, Presto took over the cover slot, but only three issues later, the book was cancelled with #54 (1956) and both Red Mask and Presto Kid disappeared until the 1960s when some of their stories were reprinted by IW Publishing/Super Comics.
But this particular tale has never been reprinted!
Be here tomorrow for another tale of a Masked Western Hero!

PRESTO KID "Birth of the Presto Kid"

A gunslinger without a gun...
...that was the premise of the short-lived (only four stories) series The Presto Kid!
After the Ghost Rider series was cancelled, artist Dick Ayers teamed up with writer Carl Memling on a new strip about a character who used gimmicks, like Ghost Rider, but without the scarier aspects.
While this story from Red Mask #52 details Presto Kid's origin, it's actually his second appearance!
