Robert Conrad stars as James West and Ross Martin as master of disguise Artemus Gordon, Secret Service Agents during the 1870’s. Featuring Science Fiction and Horror themed storylines, spy gadgets, kung fu and steampunk, Wild Wild West was conceived as James Bond on horseback. Wild Wild West is known for the many distinctive villains such as Dr. Miguelito Loveless played by Michael Dunn, a brilliant megalomaniacal dwarf, and Count Manzeppi played by Victor Buono. Every episode had a title with the word Night such as: The Night of the Puppeteer, The Night of the Inferno, The Night of the Steel Assassin, The Night of the Man Eating House, The Night of the Lord of Limbo, The Night of the Whirring Death, and The Night of the Samurai. There was lots of action in the series, with Robert Conrad doing his own stunts. CBS-TV cancelled The Wild, Wild West after it’s fourth season, as the show was considered too violent for the time. Find out more in this New Edition of The Wild Wild West, The Series, first published in 1988, now updated with more photos and information, this 250 Page Behind the Scenes Book is considered the definitive history of this unique series.  Susan will autograph all copies of THE WILD WILD WEST, THE SERIES purchased at the Convention at no charge.
