TANG

“Tang” is short for mustang. Appearing in Triumph Adventure Comics, from the first issue. “Tang” is said to have been conceived by Adrian Dingle. However, during the Hillborough Studio days the stories were written first by Frank Brookwood then by Herbert Ohert. René Kulbach who was a master at drawing animals illustrated them. When Bell Features took over the periodical’s publication René became the serial’s cartoonist.

Although the serial. is named after the horse, the central character is “Buddy” The episodes begin with a young “Buddy” and his sister “Juanita” kidnapped and adopted by the Sioux Chief “Spotted Eagle” who taught “Buddy” hunting. “Buddy” and “Juanita” escaped and fled to a valley where they found the white stallion “Hermit” who had been separated from the same wagon train that carried “Buddy” and “Juanita”. There was also a colt they named “Tang”. After several more adventures they finally came across a rancher and his wife who adopted them. The story then jumped five years. “Juanita” disappeared, and the serial settled into the various adventures of “Buddy” as a young man with his horse “Tang”. The stories were typical western adventure fare without any new insights, except, perhaps, that the hero wore a black hat. It is the superb art work in “Tang” that made it an outstanding feature in Triumph Comics.

At the end of the Second World War, F.E. Howard Publications took over a number of Bell Features characters for its title Super Duper Comics and “Tang” for the first time appeared in colour. René remained the visual artist for it as it transitioned to colour.

In 1994, this writer and performance artist graduated in English studies from McGill University. Shortly after with Allyson Mitchell, and Ruby Rowan she founded Pretty, Porky and Pissed Off a performance art collective that operated from 1996 to 2005, and she participated in Keith Cole’s Cheap Queers an annual performance night of LGBT entertainers at Buddies In Bad Times Theatre [Toronto].

She wrote and her cousin Jillian Tamaki illustrated Skim which in 2008 won a Governor General’s Award, followed in 2009 by a Shuster Award, a Doug Wright Award and an Ignatz Award.
