*The Wild Wild West (alternatively titled The Night Of The Iron Tyrants) was the second comic book series based on the television show that was published by Millennium Comics in 1990, with the first being the Gold Key comics released almost 20 years prior. Millennium’s comic book series launched in October 1990 and ended in January 1991. The comic was a special four part story arc detailing one of the most dangerous adventures of James West and Artemus Gordon in order to stop the Knights of the Golden Circle. The comics were scripted by Mark Ellis with art by Darryl Banks.
Unlike the Gold Key comics, the Millennium run of the comics were overarching and more risque thanks to more lenient censorship, allowing them to showcase more violence and female beauties in even more sensual outfits and situations. The comic also featured the return of Doctor Miguelito Loveless as the lead villain once again after a 20 year absence since the original show ended back in 1969 and who was absent from The Wild Wild West Revisted due to Michael Dunn’s death. As such these comics seem to take place after the events of the original series but before the events of Revisited.
