Kid Colt Outlaw #11
Thorpe & Porter (Strato Publications Ltd.), United Kingdom, c.1952
68 pages · Western / Frontier · Black & white interior
Kid Colt Outlaw #11 is a UK-published Thorpe & Porter edition produced for the British market during the early 1950s, part of the postwar wave of American Western comics reprinted overseas. This issue reprints material from Kid Colt Outlaw (Marvel, 1949 series) #27 and related contemporary Western titles, presenting a dense, magazine-format package typical of Thorpe & Porter’s export editions.
The contents feature multiple frontier stories anchored by Kid Colt, alongside additional Western material drawn from Marvel and Hillman publications of the era. Contributors include Jack Keller, Leon Lazarus, Stan Lee, Sol Brodsky, Marvin Stein, Paul Reinman, and others, reflecting the deep bench of mid-century American comic talent whose work circulated internationally through these reprint editions. Undated at publication, with the year considered approximate based on source material and printing context.
A substantial, historically representative UK reprint with strong mid-century Western character, appealing to collectors of Thorpe & Porter editions, Marvel pre-hero material, and international comic publishing history.
Grading Notes:
GD+ (2.5). Condition consistent with the stated grade. Piece missing from the back cover, with general handling and age-related wear typical of a 1950s UK reprint.
