The Wild Wild West #1 — VG/F (5.0)
Gold Key Comics, August 1966
Silver Age · Western / TV Tie-In · 12¢ cover price
The Wild Wild West #1A launches Gold Key’s comic adaptation of the popular 1960s television series, blending Western adventure with espionage and gadget-driven intrigue. This first issue features a photo cover of Robert Conrad as James West, giving it immediate crossover appeal for TV and pop-culture collectors.
Interior art is by Al McWilliams, whose clean, illustrative style fits Gold Key’s house look of the period. As with many Gold Key TV tie-ins, the book was aimed at a broad readership and heavily handled, making surviving mid-grade copies increasingly harder to find. The photo-cover “A” variant is especially sought after by collectors focused on television history and licensed comics.
A solid Silver Age debut issue, appealing to fans of the series, Gold Key collectors, and those building TV-adaptation runs from the 1960s.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
VG/F (5.0). Moderate, even wear consistent with the grade. Presents well overall, with typical handling and age-related wear for a mid-1960s Gold Key comic.
