Coyote (comics)

Coyote is an American comic book series created by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers.

Publication history

The characters first appeared in Eclipse magazine #2–8, starting in 1981. Those stories would later be reprinted in a color trade paperback, I Am Coyote.

Afterwards, in 1983, a new comic book series started at Marvel Comics’ Epic Comics line that ran 16 issues. It was notable for the first published work of Todd McFarlane. According to Epic editor-in-chief Archie Goodwin, artist Steve Leialoha's departure after issue #2 caused deadline problems from which the series never fully recovered, leading to its early cancellation.

Coyote #14 was an intercompany crossover, with the First Comics character Badger appearing. Englehart said that he and Badger writer Mike Baron had been talking about doing a crossover with the characters for a long time. Issues #15 and 16 were a two-part story intended to wrap up the major plot threads of the series.
