THE GREAT BRITISH COMIC BOOK WEEKEND - PEST OF THE WEST

The always helpful Keith Chapman has here provided us with a two page scan of Pest of the West as an example of some of his comic book scripting, together with a fascinating little bonus - a page of his original script. The story originally appeared in the Wham! Annual for 1967 and given Keith's current-day status as western writer Chap O'Keefe and his long association with the Archive it is a honour to reproduce the strip here.

Readers cans click on any of the images for a larger, easily read version which will open in their browser.

Yeah John Chap has written many comic strips over the years and if you search the Archive you'll find a strip he did for The Saint which is a great read. Find it HERE http://tainted-archive.blogspot.com/2009/09/saint-settles-score-by-keith-chapman_13.html
