Matt Slade Gunfighter

Matt Slade Gunfighter, a five-issue Western series from Thorpe & Porter that began in 1957, follows the grim adventures of its titular frontier lawman. The series is most closely associated with the gritty, detailed pencils of Joe Maneely and Werner Roth, whose art gave the Old West a stark, lived-in feel. Though brief in its original run, it stands as a compact, hard-boiled example of the British-published Western genre, capturing the era's fascination with morally complex gunslingers.
