Kid Colt Outlaw #58 — VG+ (4.5)
Thorpe & Porter / Strato Publications Ltd., United Kingdom, c.1960
68 pages · Western / Frontier · Black & white interior
Kid Colt Outlaw #58 is a late-period UK Thorpe & Porter edition drawing primarily from Kid Colt Outlaw (Marvel, 1949 series) #88 (January 1960). Issued near the end of Thorpe & Porter’s Western reprint run, this magazine-format number reflects the fully hybrid approach of the era, combining contemporary Marvel Western material with a broad selection of DC Western features for the British market.
The issue features a Jack Kirby–penciled Kid Colt cover, followed by multiple Kid Colt stories scripted by Stan Lee with art by Jack Keller, alongside a notable Al Williamson–illustrated story. Additional content is drawn from DC’s All Star Western and related titles, with contributions by Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, Gardner Fox, Robert Kanigher, Bernard Baily, and others. The result is a dense cross-section of late-1950s American Western comics as they circulated internationally through UK reprints.
A strong later-series Thorpe & Porter Kid Colt issue, notable for its Kirby cover and wide mix of Marvel and DC Western material, appealing to collectors of UK reprints and late Atlas-era Western comics.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
VG+ (4.5). A solid, above-average copy with moderate, even wear consistent with the grade. Presents well overall, with handling and age-related wear typical of early 1960s UK reprint editions.
