Excellent overview of the whole western genre! I am a huge western fan and collector (both of comics, movies, and novels) and that video was a hoot! That must have been a lot of work! I have to add a few more infos about Ghost Rider. First, he wasn't created at Marvel, but at ME (Magazine Enterprize) in 1949 by editor Vin Sullivan and artist Dick Ayers. Then, in 1966, since ME had been gone for a while and no one was using him, Marvel decided to publish a revamped version of the Ghost Rider with the original artist Dick Ayers (already working for Marvel by then). His series lasted only 7 issues, but stories continued as one of the features in the Western Gunfighters anthology for seven more issues until the title became a reprint series. So Ghost Rider came first, then later for a new series of reprints, the name was changed for Night Rider because meantime Marvel had already created another hero by the same name: Ghost Rider the motor bike riding supernatural character. Much later (in the 80s maybe?) , the western Ghost/Night Rider got another name change and became the Phantom Rider.
BTW, the western is still a major genre in european comics to this day, with new series popping up every year, and older series still being carried out by new creative teams. If you go into a french speaking book store selling comic book albums, there is always a sizeable section of westerns. Jean Giraud (pronounced ''Jee-ro'') is from France, not Belgium.
Thank you very much for this video. As a big western comic collector, it was interesting to see which titles you chose to catalog the history of the genre. One quick correction: The original Ghost Rider was from the 1940s, created by Magazine Enterprises. His first appearance was Tim Holt #11. Then, 20 years later when the trademark expired, Marvel put out the original Carter Slade "Ghost Rider" series which ran 8 issues I think. A few years later, Johnny Blaze and his motorcycle became the new "Ghost Rider," but there was still a desire for more of the western version. Since their new motorcycle Ghost Rider was so popular, they rebooted the title under the name "Night Rider." Really appreciate your video. Thanks so much for the quality content.
Thank you for updating/correcting the video about Ghost Rider. I’m a huge fan of Ghost Rider and I was hoping that he would talk more about it. I watched the whole video, hoping and praying for some details on Ghost Rider. I actually have the original western run of Ghost Rider comics, as well as the Johnny blaze series. I would love to purchase some of the original ones, but they are few and far between and not to mention expensive. 🔥💀🔥💀
Hey professor smith, Jonah Hex had his first apearence is all star western 10 which changes Wierd Western in issue 12. I know because I got it in a omnibus collection.
Regarding the original El Diablo, Lazarus Lane had a Mexican mother and a Spanish father. He was raised a child in Baja/Mexicali, and educated in Europe, making him a pretty well-rounded character that wasn't very out of place historically. I disagree with your assessment that Reno Jones is a "problematic, ahistorical" character. Most of the black men that served the Confederacy did so out of allegiance to their former or present master, sometimes with the promise of freedom attached, often with no promise of anything attached, since a good number of them were slaves who had no choice in the matter. But we do know that free persons of color willingly served the Confederacy in limited capacity, even under Stonewall Jackson's Battalion. The firsthand, contemporaneous accounts from valid sources are too numerous to deny, even for modern revisionist historians.

@@dalemoyers8881 I have the whole original set from 1950-1954. I also have the first appearance comic. Tim Holt #11.
@@Opry99er That’s awesome. Are they graded or raw?
Tim Holt 11 was indeed his first appearance _as_ Ghost Rider, but the character himself first appeared in Tim Holt 6 as the Calico Kid.

You're right, I knew that but must've had a brain fart! Thank you!
