About the series
In 1955, Horwitz Publications launched Western Kid, a short-lived but visually striking four-issue comic series that captured the spirit of classic cowboy adventure. The series is most notable for the artwork of Joe Maneely, whose dynamic, detailed style brought the Old West to life across each installment. Though brief, Western Kid stands as a crisp snapshot of mid-century Australian comics publishing and a showcase for one of the era's most talented illustrators.
