Winnetou

In the mid-1960s, French publisher SPE brought the legendary Apache chief Winnetou to the comics page, adapting Karl May’s classic Western novels into a five-issue series. This short-lived but visually striking run captured the noble hero’s adventures alongside Old Shatterhand, blending frontier action with the romanticized spirit of the Wild West. Though brief, the series stands as a notable European take on the iconic character, reflecting the enduring popularity of May’s stories in continental comics.
