About the series
From 1979 to 1982, Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. published Western Picture Library, a sprawling 324-issue series of painted comic books that brought the grit and grandeur of the American frontier to British readers. Each issue delivered a self-contained, vividly illustrated tale of cowboys, outlaws, and settlers, with the series' distinctive painted covers and interiors becoming its hallmark. While the specific artists behind these enduringly popular "picture libraries" remain largely uncredited, the series stands as a prolific and atmospheric monument to the Western genre in British comics.
