In the modern age, a miniseries called Blaze of Glory revived those characters to show their final days.
Marvel Comics had a number of Western heroes, including the Rawhide Kid, the Two-Gun Kid (who got unstuck in time and briefly became an Avenger) and the original Ghost Rider (who dressed up as a ghost, not the guy with the flaming skull). Lucky Luke: One of the most popular cowboy comics in the world and a clever Satire of all the tropes of The Western. #Stupid zombies 2 wild west series#
Les Tuniques Bleues: Tragicomedic comic strip series about two soldiers that started in the Wild West and became increasingly set during the American Civil War. Diana Prince is a super-powered Sheriff in this world, and her traditional lasso fits in well with the aesthetic. 
Justice Riders: An Elseworlds tale following the Justice League equivalent in the wild west on Earth-18. The Chimp With The Brown Hat is set in the wild west circa 1880, with giant space worms. Blueberry: Renowned comic book series about a badass cowboy. The Albert Einstein: Time Mason story "A Fistful Of Physics" has Albert Einstein go back to this period and team up with Billy The Kid. But overall, the Wild West was not so wild - it was actually more simple and boring, in fact. Not to mention that courts were almost non-existent, so settlers substituted with vigilance committees, which were more focused on lynching people than doing any law practices. Although, by all means, it was still a lawless and violent era, with three major 19th-century American wars taking place in the frontier (the Mexican-American War, the American Civil War and the American Indian Wars) and also other range wars, bandit attacks and feuds. Carrying guns in these towns was more likely to get you arrested than shot, and you were much more likely to die from diseases like cholera, dysentery, and tuberculosis, or in an accident like being dragged by your own horse, than to be killed in a raging gunfight or get scalped by Indians. The average Western town had 1.5 murders per year, and most of those weren't done with guns (due to the West having a relatively small population compared to the East). Plus, since many guns were very inaccurate in those days, they sometimes tended to happen in significantly closer quarters than they do in fiction. There weren't many huge shootouts note Part of the reason the Gunfight at the OK Corral is so well remembered, or at least fictionalized, is because its 4-on-5 lineup was so exceptional, quickdraw duels were rare, note Again, part of the reason Wild Bill Hickock is so well remembered, or at least fictionalized, is because he won what was almost certainly the first and may have been the only one of these and gun duels and violent gun-wielding criminals weren't exclusive to desert-like "western" areas. The real Old West was nothing like The Theme Park Version (which was originally the creation of 19th-century "dime novels"). 
Bad guys and anti-heroes wear black hats, good guys and sheriffs wear white hats, shootouts on Main Street occur with the frequency of at least one an hour-with the sun at high noon each time-and everyone drinks sarsaparilla or whiskey.
Also home to very lucrative sugar glass and balsa-wood chair industries, judging by the number of bar brawls which occur during a single episode of a typical western series. The Theme Park Version of the Old West is a land of Indians, grizzled prospectors, scenic bluffs, Conestoga wagons, tough, shotgun-toting pioneers and buxom, be-feathered dance-hall girls. It has its own set of specialized subtropes, including a wide assortment of stock character types and its own specialized locations. The Wild West is basically the Theme Park Version or fictionalization of this setting. This setting is home to The Western, a definitively American genre almost as stylized and standardized as Commedia dell'Arte.
Census Bureau's official recognition in 1890 of the end of the frontier. The American Old West was the land west of the Mississippi River roughly in or around the latter half of the nineteenth century specifically we might start what we now think of as the "Wild West" era with the California Gold Rush of 1848 and end it with the U.S.
