RIO<br />
<strong>•</strong> Doug Wildey was an acclaimed comic book and comic strip artist, as well as a noted<br />
animator. Very much in the school of Milton Caniff and Alex Toth, Wildley was an artist's<br />
artist, a storyteller of the highest order, and one with remarkable depth. While not known for<br />
any specific character (very much like Toth), Wildey worked in many genres — with western<br />
stories being some of his most memorable.<br />
<strong>•</strong> In 1987 Wildey began one of his most personal works, Rio — the story of an aging cowboy<br />
and gunfighter, as well as special agent for the President of the United States, Ulysses S.<br />
Grant. This volume collects the entire Rio saga in one handsome collection, including the<br />
final, unfinished and unpublished Rio story.<br />
