Gwandanaland Comics #466

Where the frontier meets the final frontier — Space Western Comics #40 collects the complete run of Charlton's gloriously genre-bending series in this 2017 Gwandanaland reprint volume. John Belfi's cover art captures the wild collision of worlds perfectly: a cowboy on horseback, lasso raised high, rides hard past a towering red rocket ship while a figure in the foreground struggles with a woman in distress, promising showdowns with saucer-men and desert outlaws alike. It's exactly the kind of imaginative pulp energy that made mid-century comics so irresistible, and having it all gathered in one place makes this a genuine treat for fans of both Western and science fiction comics.
