Here's the "V" listing for the A-Z Blogging Challenge! And the theme is, "Golden Age Comic Book Characters with the Same Name As Modern-Day Characters."
Greg Sanders (changed to "Saunders" in the 1990s for some damned reason) was DC Comics' first Vigilante. A modern-day cowboy and radio star, he rode a motorcycle and fought crime with his twin six-guns, He first appeared in Action Comics #42, 1941.

A totally different Vigilante, Adrian Chase, showed up in The New Teen Titans Annual #2, published by DC in 1983. A newer version of that character, Dorian Chase, was introduced in Nightwing vol. 2, #133, 2007.
Both the Greg Sanders/Saunders Vigilante and the latter-day, costumed Vigilantes have appeared in modern times.
And thanks for your time.
Wow, wasn't $1.25 pricey for 41? Happy to see just dues to artist though :)
ReplyDeleteThe one with the $1.25 price tag was from 1983. And higher prices rarely mean the artist is getting more. It's generally the publisher. :)
DeleteGreat! Cazgreenham.blogspot.com

DeleteLove the first version! Too crazy - a motorbike riding cowboy an radio star with guns to boot! :)

He played a guitar and sang on the radio!
DeleteI've seen the Cowboy one in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon
ReplyDeleteSee? They're still using both versions! So we can't really call this a reboot.
DeleteDig the cowboy heroes... really!
ReplyDeleteWelcome in the letter "V"... thank you!

True. Superheroes are all vigilantes, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI like the Old West Vigilante the best ... and he did well in the animated Justice League, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSecretary of State Ross calls Captain America a vigilante in the latest movie ... easy to call names AFTER Steve Rogers saved millions of lives by taking out the hellicarriers manned by Hydra, right?
Exactly. But as Batman said in The Dark Knight Returns, "Of course we're criminals. We've always been criminals."
Delete(Or words to that effect. I'm working from memory.)
Deletei like the newest one the best. there is something creepy cool about him. that and the mask is a V.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is a nice touch.
DeleteOld version for sure. I came here looking for silver fox, animal, or even a silver fox, human, but comics wee here instead! ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
ReplyDeleteHope I didn't disappoint you. The Silver Fox is a nickname one of my readers gave me years ago.
DeleteMaybe it became Saunders because someone realized he's of British ancestry. Though I guess it would be Sounders.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Maybe!
DeleteAh, I love this. I used to collect comics. It's so interesting to see how they evolve.
ReplyDeleteI love the gunslinging style of the Vigilante better than the newer version.
