Kid Colt Outlaw #46 — F/VF (7.0)
Thorpe & Porter / Strato Publications Ltd., United Kingdom, c.1954–55
68 pages · Western / Frontier · Black & white interior
Kid Colt Outlaw #46 is a UK-published Thorpe & Porter edition from the mid-1950s, part of the later run of British reprints that combined multiple American Western features into dense, magazine-format issues. The Kid Colt material in this issue reprints stories from Kid Colt Outlaw (Marvel, 1949 series) #41, alongside a broad selection of additional Western content drawn from Two-Gun Western, The Outlaw Kid, and related Marvel titles of the period.
The issue features substantial Kid Colt stories illustrated by Jack Keller, supplemented by multiple Outlaw Kid stories with art by Doug Wildey, as well as Black Rider material associated with Syd Shores. The result is a packed cross-section of mid-century Western comics, showcasing the clean, straightforward storytelling style that defined Marvel’s Western line and circulated internationally through Thorpe & Porter’s UK editions. As with many issues in the series, the book is undated, with publication timing inferred from original source material.
A strong later-series Thorpe & Porter Kid Colt issue with broad character representation, appealing to collectors of UK Marvel reprints, 1950s Western comics, and international comic publishing history.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
F/VF (7.0). A clean, above-average copy with light handling and age-related wear consistent with the grade. Presents well overall, particularly for a mid-1950s UK reprint.
