Western Gunfighters

Marvel's Western Gunfighters (1970–1975) was a 33-issue anthology series that kept the spirit of the Old West alive by reprinting classic tales of frontier justice. Featuring a rotating cast of Marvel's cowboy heroes—including Kid Colt, the Apache Kid, and the mysterious Steel—the series showcased the work of legendary talents like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Gary Friedrich, with gritty art from Jack Keller and Werner Roth. It served as a vital repository for Marvel's Western lore during a time when the genre was fading from newsstands, preserving the adventures of these rough-and-tumble gunslingers for a new generation of readers.
