Colt Western Library

A short-lived but visually striking Australian comic from Trans-Tasman Magazines, Colt Western Library ran for eleven issues between 1959 and 1961, offering standalone tales of frontier justice and adventure. The series is notable for its frequent painted covers and interior art by John Forte and Tom Gill, whose dynamic, pulp-inspired style gave the Old West a vivid, larger-than-life feel. As a dedicated Western title from a smaller publisher, it stands as a distinctive artifact of the era's regional comic book scene.
