History ComicBook / KidColt2009

* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:The story ends with the heroes faking Kid Colt's death (using Wilks's corpse) and claiming the bounty. Sheriff [=McGreeley=] will presumably work it out - but, at least for a little while, the authorities think Colt is dead]].

* InTheBack: At the very start of the story, Colt's having breakfast when three gunmen burst in and try to kill him. The fourth creeps in more quietly, hoping to shoot him in the back. He gets the drop on the kid and is just about to fire - having stopped to gloat - when Hawk shoots him first.

* BoomHeadshot: When the body of [[spoiler:'Colt' (actually Sherman Wilks)]] is handed in for the bounty, the face is almost entirely gone. [[spoiler:'Wilks' (actually Hawk)]] explains that he was shot in the face during their [[QuickDraw duel]]. [[spoiler:Colt and Hawk later discuss the widow they're wiring the bounty to, who was named in Wilks's papers. There's a hole through the paper, with an implication that Wilks was actually shot in the chest, with the headshot a post-mortem tactic to disguise the corpse]].

Colt, whose real name is Blaine Cole, is a young man who was [[FrameUp framed]] and declared an {{outlaw}} after avenging his family's murder. Accompanied by Everett 'Hawk' Hawkmore, he finds himself hunted by bounty killers working for Sheriff [=McGreeley=], the man who initially framed him for murder - and that clash is complicated by the arrival of another, very different, group of outlaws.

* ChekhovsGunman: The first issue begins with Colt eating breakfast in a saloon, only to be attacked by gunmen. One of the other diners, visible in the background from the start of the scene, keeps calmly eating until the final gunman is about to shoot Colt InTheBack - and then he steps in and shoots the man. He's then revealed to be Hawk, Colt's future sidekick, whose narration opened the story.

* SingleEpisodeHandicap: Colt's, who's right handed, is shot in his right arm when Wilks first attacks him. He spends the rest of the series with that arm in a sling, shooting and fighting left-handed. It’s downplayed to the point where it doesn't slow him down at all, though - he's still a great shot, he wins an unarmed TrialByCombat and he's [[spoiler:fast enough to win a QuickDraw duel against Wilks]].

* BigBad: Sheriff [=McGreeley=], who sets the plot in motion by hiring Sherman Wilks and his {{Bounty Hunter}}s to bring in Kid Colt. It's [=McGreeley=] who [[FrameUp framed]] Colt for murder and put a price on his head in the first place.

* GunsAkimbo: One of the men ambushing Colt during his breakfast has a pistol in each hand. He's almost immediately shot dead, though, and the trope is generally averted.
