Here is today’s public domain superhero - KID TYRANT!

Kid Tyrant appeared only once, in a Chameleon story in the back of Target Comics Vol. 3 No. 1. He was “Ragsy”, the sidekick of The Chameleon- a rough-n-tumble, Bowery Boys type. Ragsy decides to take on the persona of his favorite kid superhero to solve a case and then shelves his costume – all under the nose of his crimefighting pal.

And now, on to my version -
| Of course this is a sketch, not a finished drawing, but I think it’s easy to see what I’m going for. The name really screamed “Kirby Character” and so I just bulked him up, gave him solid gauntlets. I want to take this character farther along one day- make him much more bombastic, more Bronze age in style.

read one of his stories, cool character, great tweak of the design. You ought to take a shot at the Target and the targateers. I am toying with a figure of him, too.
Hey TBolt-
That’s a good Idea- there’s allot you can do with those guys, like a “GIJoe” Adventure Team thing- like many of the team-based action figure toys of the 70′s.
