For syndicated reruns it was grouped with three other short-lived Western series from the same company, Black Saddle starring Peter Breck, Johnny Ringo starring Don Durant and Sam Peckinpah's critically acclaimed creation, The Westerner starring Brian Keith, under the umbrella title The Westerners, with new introductions and wrap-ups by Keenan Wynn.
It was based upon an episode of the 1960 Sam Peckinpah television series The Westerner called "Line Camp," which was also written and directed by Tom Gries.
In 1590, the Easterners Yi Sanhae and Yu Seongryong and the Westerner Jeong Cheol were the three State Counciliors - Samjeongseung (삼정승).
Jeong Yeorip's Purge in 1588 could be said to have divided the Easterners, but the date 1591 is selected in this article because 1591 was the date that decisively split the Easterners in half, due to the controversy regarding the fate of the Westerner Jeong Cheol.
Orbit's titles included The Westerner (featuring Wild Bill Pecos), Love Diary, Patches and Wanted Comics, and contributing artists included Syd Shores, Bernard Krigstein and Mort Leav.
