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unpublished Rio story.
