Stories of the West

A short-lived 1980s series from Blackthorne, Stories of the West spanned just two issues, pairing lush, sweeping artwork by Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri with scripts from Fred Blomgren, Raffaele Ambrosio, and Tony Raiola. Though brief, the series stands as a showcase for Serpieri’s celebrated, detailed depictions of the American frontier, offering a spare, visually-driven take on Western comics.
