El Diablo

El Diablo is a name shared by two fictional characters published by DC Comics. Lazarus Lane first appeared in All-Star Western #2 (October 1970), and was created by Robert Kanigher and Gray Morrow. Rafael Sandoval first appeared in El Diablo #1 (August 1989), and was created by Gerard Jones and Mike Parobeck. Lazarus Lane is the original El Diablo, operating in the latter half of the 19th Century in the old American West. Lane was originally a bank teller who is nearly killed by a gang of thieves and put in a coma after being hit by lightning. After being revived by a Native American shaman, Lane becomes a vigilante and called himself El Diablo. He is one of several Wild West DC characters, along with Jonah Hex, Bat Lash, the original Pow-Wow Smith, and the original, heroic Trigger Twins. The name El Diablo means "the devil" in Spanish. The second comics series published by DC under the El Diablo name was published under their Vertigo imprint as a mature readers title. According... full article at wikipedia
