Thorpe & Porter, c.1953 — 68 pages
“Gun Crazy” cover story
Another thick, square-back British bruiser loaded with classic Old West chaos. This 68-page UK edition delivers shootouts, stampedes, revenge trails, and outlaw justice in a format that feels more like a pulp magazine than a standard comic. Big action, bold printing, and the unmistakable presence of British rack editions at their best.
The cover alone does the talking — Kid Colt mid-fight, a woman in peril, guns blazing on the cliffside. Inside is wall-to-wall Western storytelling pulled from early-’50s American material and repackaged for UK newsstands with heavier paper and deeper ink. If you’re into Atlas/Marvel Westerns but want something with a little extra weight and attitude, this one checks all the boxes.
This copy grades F- (5.5) with strong visual appeal. The cover shows light rubbing and edge wear, but retains good color and contrast. Corners show mild softness, the spine is holding well, and the interior is complete with typical age-toning from original paper stock. A good-looking, honest survivor that displays well without feeling fragile.
