Excerpt: NEW YORK (CNN) -- Marvel Comics plans to break new ground in the comic book industry by introducing the first openly gay title character in a comic book.
The character will appear in a revival of the 1950s title, "The Rawhide Kid." Marvel expects a February debut.
The new series pairs the original artist, John Severin, now 86, with Ron Zimmerman, a writer for the "Howard Stern Show."
The Rawhide Kid has been a Marvel character since the 1950s both as a main and a secondary character. However, it was not until Zimmerman approached Marvel with his idea of a homosexual Rawhide Kid that sexuality was mentioned in the discussion of the character.
Although shy with girls, the original Rawhide Kid was not intended to be gay. The new version uses double entendres and euphemisms to reveal his homosexuality without saying anything explicitly. Based on a blurb on Marvel's Web site, the tone may be campy.

The fudgepacking section of the world needs superheroes too?
Well, the best way after infiltrating and corrupting our school system is comic books I guess. Get 'em while they're young.

LOL. I knew there was something about Sitwell. You don't think that he and Fury uh, you know?
Marvel lost me when they turned Iron man into a murderer. Unforgiveable.

Marvel Comics couldn't revive Akbar and Jeff because it would have upset the Shriner's. Not to mention that I think those T-shirts are copywrited by Charlie Brown.

Maybe I'm one of the more liberals on this board, but I say who cares. In fact I might just get a couple laughs out of it.

Yeah, but back then gay meant happy and the other innuendo (no pun intended) didn't carry any baggage past the make-up tent.
We have a whole new vocabulary and world outlook thanks to homos.
