Man Hunt! in triplicate: Western Adventure Library #2, Gunsmoke Western Picture Library #3 and Real Western Library #47


Page Publications' Western Adventure Library #2 was published c.February 1970:


This issue was recycled as Gunsmoke Western Picture Library #3 c.May 1971:


It was also recycled as Real Western Library #47 c.April 1972:


All three covers are by Keith Chatto.

Contrary to my theory few days ago, it is not only the first edition which carries the lead story title - Man Hunt! - on the front cover. However, note that this is a single 64-page story whereas the other samples feature a number of shorter stories.

This is the splash page to Man Hunt!:


I agree with AusReprints that this may be from a UK - or European - source.

There are possibly more Page Publications editions of this issue.

The dates are based on the advertiser's date code on the rear of each issue.
