Sing Song

Xiao Zhing Zhong, familiarly known as Sing Song, is a supporting character in two golden age western series, The Calico Kid and The Ghost Rider (Magazine Enterprises). Starting out as Rex Fury's teenaged side kick, Xiao was depicted as both intelligent and resourceful, prepared to risk his life in service of the greater good. In his current incarnation, he is a powerful magician and necromancer, using his eldritch knowledge to battle supernatural forces alongside The Revenant Rider.

Background
Rex had saved the boy after he was framed for murder, and became his ward. The boy seemed naïve and wide eyed about the world around him. He aided Rex on his missions to dispense justice across the Frontier.

What Rex didn't know was that the boy had abilities he concealed. The lad was the last survivor of a family of Necromancers in China, who had been trained by Taoist priests in order to battle the infamous Jiang Shi of their country. In addition, he was trained in martial arts, and also had some skills in both Alchemy and as an Apothecary.

When he and Rex were thrown into river and left to drown, Rex was able to free himself from his bonds when they were sucked into the Devil's Sink, and was able to bring Sing Song into a cavern before he died. The boy tried to resuscitate his guardian to no avail. Not wanting to lose the only person he cared for in this world, he called upon his Necromantic powers to bring Rex's soul back to his body. Due to his inexperience, he partly succeeded, and Rex became a man who lived in both the land of the living and the realm of the dead.

Sing Song still aids Rex in his quest for justice, but now that Rex knows what he can really do, he uses all his abilities, mundane and magical, to help Revenant Rider continue to dispense justice across the American Frontier.
