About the series
In 1951, Avon Periodicals launched Badmen of the West, a single-issue comic book that stands as a compact, atmospheric snapshot of the Western genre's pulpier side. Illustrated by the prolific Everett Raymond Kinstler, whose career would later encompass iconic pulp and comic work, this one-shot offered a gallery of frontier outlaws. Though its run was brief, it remains a notable artifact of the early 1950s Western comic boom, showcasing Kinstler's energetic linework and Avon's commitment to genre storytelling.
