Best of the West

A short-lived but visually striking series from Magazine Management, Best of the West ran for only three issues between 1970 and 1975, offering painted covers that stand out in the Australian comic landscape. Though the interior talent remains uncredited, the series is notable for its attempt to package Western-themed stories during a period when the genre was waning in popularity. It remains a curious, footnote-worthy artifact of Australian publishing's brief flirtation with the genre.
