*Western: Well, do we have a passel of oddities in this week’s instalment of our Western extravaganza. From a variety of publishers and decades: Magazine Enterprises’ Best Of The West & Bobby Benson’s B-Bar-B Riders (#13 of the latter with Frazetta cover and interiors by Bob Powell and Dick Ayers on Ghost Rider), Skywald’s Butch Cassidy, and from Charlton: Billy The Kid, Cheyenne Kid, the curmudgeonly Gabby Hayes, Six-Gun Heroes and Wyatt Earp. The Cheyenne Kid issues (7 between #66 and #73) feature the bizarre Wander ‘The Great Western Hero From Outer Space’, with art by Jim Aparo, including the first appearance of this genre-busting character in #66 (I can remember an episode of the bonkers US series of Robin Hood where an alien landed in Sherwood Forest, but I digress…). Both issues of Six-Gun Heroes have an added bonus with black and white printer’s proofs enclosed; these come from the vaults of Alan Class and were part of the process in getting these stories reprinted in his publications. So there you have it, more side-winding bang for your buck in this week’s (frankly) weird Western goings-on…
