Wild Western

A short-lived but visually memorable series from Bell Features, Wild Western ran for 14 issues between 1948 and 1951, bringing classic frontier action to newsstands. The series is most associated with the dynamic pencils of Syd Shores and Joe Maneely, whose artwork defined its rugged, adventurous tone. Though brief, it stands as a solid example of post-war Canadian comics publishing, capturing the enduring appeal of the Western genre before the industry's mid-century shifts.
