WES SLADE DEPUTY US MARSHALL HC

This is the very first time these stories have been reprinted since first appearing in 1960s. Regarded by comic aficionados as the finest western strip ever published, Wes Slade: Deputy US Marshal ran from 1961 until 1981. Written by James Edgar, perhaps the best writer of western strips, and drawn by George Stokes as a labor of love, the artwork is very special. Here we present 10 complete stories all scanned from the original artwork which still survives in the Express Newspaper Archives. George Stokes was born in 1934, the son of a British officer serving in the Indian Army. Travel in Canada and the USA deepened his interest in West and in 1960 he jumped at the opportunity to draw a newly created western strip for the Sunday Express, Wes Slade. He drew Wes Slade weekly for the next 20 years until his untimely death aged 47 in 1981. We are very pleased to offer this incredible collection of Western stories and artwork in the very finest reproduction from the original artwork.
