Tales of Wells Fargo Annual [1961]
[1960] Annual. Original price 7/6.
96 pages. Full colour contents.
World Distributors (Manchester) Limited.
Based on the US television series starring Dale Robertson.
Cover painting by Walt Howarth (uncredited).
Contents:
Continuing the thematic cover design, Tales of Wells Fargo Annual has adopted a far more fitting lettering, though loses some degree of style in the process, the letters being far too fussy. As always Howarth provides a wonderful cover, though with Hardie far more pensive and thoughtful, giving a sombre air to proceedings. Had the endpaper followed, with a suitably melancholy spread, there might have been continuity of tone throughout, but its yellow and pink colouring is uneasily at odd with its scene of a stagecoach in imminent danger of attack. Quite what we are to make of this disconnect is hard to tell.
Beautifully presented reprints of the US strip, along with Tales of the Pony Express thrown in for good measure, add up to real value for readers.
