Kevin the Bold was an American comic strip that premiered on October 1, 1950, with script and art work by Kreigh Collins.
[4][5] This well-written Sunday comic strip was published almost twenty years, telling the story about Kevin as an Irish agent under King Henry VIII of England in the 16th century.
[1][7] But after less than two years into the strip, on September 24, 1950, one of the characters tells the story of Kevin, a shepherd who saves a medieval ancestor to Mitzi, Moya McCoy.
He even performed odd missions as an agent for the king,[10] missions involving daring adventures with young ladies, haughty princesses, brave villains and the like, usually accompanied by the young squire Brett (first appeared on January 20, 1952)[11] and comrade Pedro (who debuted on August 31, 1958, and continued through the final KTB episode).
He also journeyed to North Africa (Morocco) in 1951 and 1967, and Egypt in 1955; he made several trips to the New World—Hispaniola, 1962 and 1964, Roanoke Colony in Virginia (1965), and finally in 1966, Kevin trekked from Montreal to California.
