EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Space Westen Comics: Cowboys vs. Aliens, Commies, Dinosaurs, & Nazis TPB

The wild, WILD West!

Spurs Jackson and his Space Vigilantes bravely defended the frontier against Martians, Venusian spies, Meteor Men, moon bats, and of course, Hitler and his space Nazis. Oh, and dinosaurs!

In the 1950s, Space Western Comics captivated readers with a mashup of Western grit and science fiction thrills. The series carved its place in comic book history by delivering riveting tales of cowboys not only defending their towns but also fighting extraterrestrial beings and interstellar threats. Now, this unique saga is meticulously compiled in Dark Horse’s special release: Space Western Comics: Cowboys vs. Aliens, Commies, Dinosaurs, Nazis TPB.

With stories by Walter Gibson, famed creator/writer of The Shadow pulps, and art by John Belfi, Stan Campbell, and Lou Morales, Space Western Comics were one of the weirdest, most fun comics series of the ’50s and are collected and restored here, including a “lost” story! Profusely illustrated intro by Eisner-award winning comics historian Craig Yoe. To Arizona . . . and beyond!
