Maybe not a well known character but a favorite of ours; Grifter, is a gun-slinging, lone ranger, desperado type of comic hero who was created by comic legend Jim Lee,  in the 90′s on his creator owned comic called the WildC.A.T.S.

Astro Heroes inked

The inked version of the Astro Heroes image. You’ll notice it has changed a bit from the penciled version, but it’s common to have some alterations between these two stages. It’s the best place to have them since it’s harder to change ink than pencil. For instance from the pencil to the ink stage, changes were requested – like the hair of the big guy in the background. Since he bears the Leo symbol, it was fitting to make his hair more wild and like a lions mane. Sometimes little alterations can change the dynamics of an image in a big way. It’s the little...
