All the West's a stage, and the gunmen and outlaws merely players.

Find the Shakespeare Title, Episode 1:Shakespeare and the Rawhide Kid! Considering the genre and sensational cover, "All's Well That Ends Well?" Of course most Marvel comics of the sixties and seventies were comedies of error, and Stan promised sensational Marvel action as we liked it  |

That's the first issue of Rawhide Kid I read, albeit in transltion. But that which we call a Rawhide Kid comic by any other name would read as well!

Just caught the "As You Like it" subtitle on the cover. I feel quite stupid. |

I didn't see it until the 3rd or 4th look either.
In my defence, I decided to start at the top of the page and work my way down. Wasted a lot of time trying to imagine how Shakespeare might have used "Marvel Comics Group" in a speech ...

 'Why MAD #17?' I hear you ask. Because #17 contains a bizarrely meta take on Julius Caesar by the stellar team of Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood and Marie Severin, that's why.   |

 This cover relates to the "Time Twisters" story inside. |

I was thinking that the Penguin in his early appearances quoted Shakespeare. I looked at his first two appearances and he quotes Keats. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." No Shakespeare. I haven't had time to keep going to his third appearance.
