About the series
A short-lived Western comic from Superior Publishing that ran for thirteen issues between 1950 and 1954, this series offered a gritty, photographic take on the legendary outlaw's adventures. Each issue featured a cover photograph rather than traditional comic art, lending the book a distinctive, almost newsreel-like realism for its era. While the interior stories remained standard Western fare, the photographic covers set Billy the Kid apart on newsstands, making it a curious artifact of early 1950s comic book experimentation.
