Best of the West

Running for twelve issues from 1951 to 1954, Magazine Enterprises' Best of the West was a solid, no-frills Western anthology anchored by the recurring presence of Tim Holt, a popular cowboy character of the era. The series was most frequently scripted by veteran comic scribe Gardner Fox, with a rotating stable of reliable artists including Fred Meagher, Dick Ayers, and Frank Bolle bringing the frontier tales to life. While not groundbreaking, it stands as a workmanlike example of the genre's post-war comic boom, offering straightforward action and adventure for fans of the Old West.
