Bob Boze Bell, as he's called in his hometown (Kingman, Arizona), has published
seven colorful and groundbreaking books on the West, with virtually all
of them in multiple printings. Among the subjects-Wyatt Earp, Billy the
Kid, Doc Holliday and his latest, a compilation of Classic Gunfights,
Volume III, which came out in summer 2007.
In 1999, Bell, along with two other passionate Old West friends, bought
True West magazine and moved the editorial offices to Cave Creek, AZ.
The magazine, published since 1953, continues to grow and features the
distinctive style of Bell's creative vision.
In addition to his efforts for True West, Boze's work has appeared in
Arizona Highways, Playboy and National Lampoon. His artwork is featured
on numerous book covers, and he appears often on the History Channel,
Discovery Channel and the Westerns Channel (True West Moments), where
his historical expertise and art are often featured.
With several new books in the works and an aggressive expansion of the
magazine, Boze shows no sign of slowing down. "I'm having too much fun," he says, hard at work on a Sunday afternoon. "Work is only work if you'd rather be someplace else. And I'm right where I want to be."
