Kit Carson, Meisterscout des Wilden Westens

In the mid-1960s, German publisher Lehning launched this 16-issue series, Kit Carson, Meisterscout des Wilden Westens, a painted Western comic that brought the legendary frontiersman to European audiences. The run is most associated with the lush, painterly covers and interiors by artists such as Jordi Penalva and Luis Dominguez, whose work gave the Old West a vivid, cinematic feel. It stands as a distinctive example of the German Bildergeschichte tradition, blending adventure with a European sensibility for the American frontier.
