CNN.com notes the announcement of Marvel Comics' RAWHIDE KID, a revival of a 50's western character reinterpreted as a gay character. Original artist John Severin will pair up with HOWARD STERN SHOW writer Ron Zimmerman. Zimmerman is credited with approaching Marvel with the idea.

The series will rely on a campy approach, with the character delivering double-entendres. A sample?

Regarding the LONE RANGER: "I think that mask and the powder blue outfit are fantastic. I can certainly see why the Indian follows him around."
