The First Making Of...

Thursday Vigilante Day.

I have decided to finish this run of Dan Barry's Vigilante for those of you who have been following it.

Allow me to draw attention to the fact that, as the series was progressing in these issues, crime-fighting became increasingly incidental to what the Vigilante did.

Yes, I understand how DC would have trouble selling the Vigilante as a modern day hero.

The Western theme might have had something to do with it, but one sees other heroes in this time period moving away from the rôle of crime-fighter to become roving trouble-shooters, who often engage in exhibitions for purpose of edification or for charity.

In the case of the Vigilante, what makes his exhibitions more odd is that his alter ego is that of entertainer. So he performs before crowds, and then disguises himself to perform before crowds.
