About the series
A gritty, black-and-white Western anthology from Dell Comics, Colt .45 ran for six issues from 1960 to 1961, featuring the stark, photo-referenced artwork of John Ushler and Nat Edson. The series takes its name from the iconic revolver, using it as a thematic anchor for a collection of frontier tales rather than following a single recurring hero. Its moody, cinematic panels and reliance on real photographs for visual reference give it a distinctive, documentary-style feel among the many Western comics of its era.
