Dynamite Entertainment proudly announces the August 2013 debut of Lady Rawhide #1, the first chapter of a five-part miniseries that will dynamically reintroduce the iconic Western heroine to comic book fans.  Written by Eric Trautmann and featuring interior artwork by Milton Estevam, and features cover artwork by the preeminent “good girl” artist, Joseph Michael Linsner.

In Lady Rawhide #1, the masked heroine faces not only the corrupt forces of the government – bent on intimidating the populace through privation and cruelty – but also a new team of vigilantes known as the Sisters of the White Rose.  The Sisters, inspired by the legends of Zorro and Lady Rawhide, have taken up the struggle against tyranny.  While Lady Rawhide supports their goals, she cannot condone their bloody methods and finds herself facing off against her own devotees!

Lady Rawhide (along with her alter-ego Anita Santiago) was introduced into the Zorro mythos in 1994, a masked vigilante skilled with swords, guns, and her signature bullwhip.  Driven to avenge her brother’s suffering at the hands of a crooked government, she first had an antagonistic relationship with Zorro, but eventually became his confidante and staunch ally.  Lady Rawhide’s popularity as a Zorro regular grew, leading to her headlining several Lady Rawhide comic series.
