  Welcome to Badlands the border town that knows no borders. Badlands
     is home to Marshal Mask and his motley mob of maladjusted misfits, like
     his helpful Indian sidekick Pongo, his faithless horse Sulphur, the old letch
     Wilderness Willie, man-hungry Belle Bottom, Sir Crispin Dry, and Gertrude 
     Goodbody. In Marshal Mask's hands, the Wild Frontier is a very wild
     place indeed...

     A winning pastiche of the legendary Lone Ranger, Steve McGarry's toon was
     was first published in "The Post" before transferring to the UK's most popular
     daily "The Sun", where it ran for thirteen successful years, from 1989 to 2002.
     The strip may be no more now, but McGarry himself is still going strong. He
     operates out of California, and as his handsome web site reveals, he has
     spread his talents right across the cartoon spectrum, with the likes of
     "Pop Culture", "Kid City" and "Mullets" and much more besides. Indeed, in
     2002 McGarry was voted Newspaper Illustrator Of The Year by the National 
     Cartoonists Society.

     "Badlands" fans would do well to track down the two strip books published
     by Pedigree Books a few years back.
