Western Illustrated Stories

A short-lived but visually striking entry from Australia's Yaffa / Page line, Western Illustrated Stories ran for nine issues from 1972 to 1973. The series is most consistently associated with the polished, iconic brushwork of Joe Sinnott, whose art gave these frontier tales a distinctive, classic comics feel. While Westerns were a staple of the era, this title stands as a compact, artist-driven showcase from the twilight of the genre's popularity in the medium.
