Wild Bill Hickok Comics

In the early 1950s, British publisher Thorpe & Porter brought the legendary lawman of the American frontier to comic pages with Wild Bill Hickok Comics. Running 14 issues from 1952 to 1953, the series featured the most frequent art of Howard Larsen, alongside a contributor known only for inset illustration. It offered a distinctly British take on the Western genre, blending historical adventure with the pulp sensibilities of the era. For fans of vintage UK comics, this title captures a brief but vivid snapshot of how Old West icons were reimagined across the Atlantic.
