Max Brand's Silvertip

A Western series from Australian publisher Magazine Management, Max Brand's Silvertip adapts the popular novels of the prolific author into seven issues of frontier adventure. Running from 1960 onward, the series follows the exploits of a lone rider in the American West, a figure of justice and skill. While the specific creative team behind the adaptation is not widely documented, the series stands as a notable example of the publisher's efforts to bring American pulp heroes to Australian newsstands. It matters as a faithful, if brief, comic-book translation of Max Brand's enduring Western mythos.
