American Update: Marvel Western Round-Up with Mighty Marvel Western and Western Gunfighters
*Western: Two reprint series Marvel launched in the 1970s to satisfy the Western Market were Mighty Marvel Western and Western Gunfighters, each presenting three or more classic stories from the Marvel/Atlas inventory reaching back to the late 1940s. Starring the obvious suspects – Kid Colt, Rawhide Kid and Two-Gun Kid – as well as more vintage characters such as the Black Rider and Apache Kid – these featured art from Kirby, Shores, Maneely, Severin and more, frequently sporting attractive new covers from the likes of Gil Kane, that Severin man again, and in one case, Jim Steranko! These were popular and relatively long-lived series, not hanging up their spurs until they’d reached thirty to forty issues. Most of our new incoming stock is from the non-distributed (in the UK) years of the mid-Seventies. We have issues of Mighty Marvel Western in from between #9 and #42, and of Western Gunfighters from between #12 and #33.
