Rauchende Colts

In the late 1970s, German publisher Bastei Verlag launched Rauchende Colts, a 32-issue Western comic series that ran from 1977 to 1978. The title translates to "Smoking Colts," capturing the gunslinger spirit of its frontier tales. While the specific creative team is not widely credited, the series is a notable example of Bastei’s prolific output of genre comics during that era, offering a compact, self-contained run of Western adventure for European readers.
