About the series
In the early 1950s, Charlton Comics launched Space Western Comics, a 6-issue series that mashed up six-guns and spaceships. Writer Walter Gibson and artists John Belfi and Stan Campbell were the main creative hands behind this short-lived genre hybrid. It's a quirky artifact from the dawn of the atomic age, capturing the era's fascination with both the frontier past and the sci-fi future.
