Avventure della Prateria: Eroico West

Adventures of the Prairie: Heroic West

All the comic books in this series were reprints which consisted mainly of material taken from Kid Colt and Kid = Due Pistole (Italy, 1959) with drawings by Doug Wildey and Jack Kirby, but also Thunder Jack by Giovanni De Leo and Renzo Orrù, here it was renamed Red Canadian, as well as Billy West. Series I: the volumes, without dates, are presented with color covers. The printer was not indicated. Series II: changed the graphics and on the cover appear the logos Adventures of the Prairie and Eroico West (black silhouette of a knight). Initially not indicated print, then Colombo Graphic Arts. Covers with line drawings; small volumes, always without dates. Printing: Colombo Graphic Arts. Series III: Line covers made from Atlas / Marvel production drawings. On the cover initially appears the Eroico West logo on which stands Dynamite Kid on horseback. Then it disappears with the unpublished covers by R. Capredoni. Print: Tramontana lithograph. From #10 appear and dates. There are two versions of #1/3, different from each other in terms of title and content. The latest issues are covered. The first undated issues almost certainly came out at the same time as the last of the Series II.
