Wyatt Earp

A short-lived Western comic from Trans-Tasman Magazines, Wyatt Earp (1959–1960) ran for just three issues, adapting the legendary lawman's exploits for a new generation. The series was largely written by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer, with artwork by the celebrated Russ Manning, whose clean, dynamic style brought a polished, modern feel to the frontier. Though brief, this title stands as a notable example of late-1950s Australian comics publishing and a showcase for Manning's early work outside his better-known sci-fi strips.
