Western Library Holiday Special

Published from 1985 to 1988 by an independent press, Western Library Holiday Special was a five-issue anthology series helmed by Ron Phillips, offering a seasonal twist on classic Western themes. Each issue delivered self-contained tales of outlaws, lawmen, and frontier life, with Phillips’s gritty, expressive art and storytelling defining the book’s rugged charm. A niche but heartfelt entry in the mid-80s comics landscape, it stands as a modest celebration of the genre, capturing the spirit of the Old West through a holiday lens.
