Rio

Doug Wildey’s Rio is a spare, elegant Western from Graphitti Designs, launched in 1987 with this single, self-contained issue. Wildey, the series’ sole artist and writer, crafts a moody, character-driven story of a lone gunman navigating the fading frontier. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive, personal vision from a veteran animator and cartoonist, offering a quiet, painterly take on the genre that rewards close attention.
