Matt Slade Gunfighter

In the late 1950s, Horwitz Publications launched Matt Slade Gunfighter, a short-lived but gritty Western comic that ran for seven issues. Illustrated primarily by Werner Roth and Chuck Miller, the series followed the lone adventures of its titular gunslinger across a harsh frontier landscape. Though brief, it stands as a representative artifact of the Australian comic boom, capturing the era's fascination with American Westerns through local creative talent.
