Wild Bill Hickok

In 1950, Horwitz launched a short-lived comic series based on the legendary frontier lawman Wild Bill Hickok, spanning just three issues. The series, part of the publisher's post-war Western boom, is most closely associated with artist Maurice Bramley, whose rugged pencils defined its look. While brief, it stands as a modest artifact of mid-century Australian comic publishing, capturing the enduring appeal of the Old West for a new generation of readers.
