Gunsmoke Blazing Hero of the West

Atlas Comics’ Gunsmoke Blazing Hero of the West (1954–1955) was a short-lived but visually striking Western series, running eight issues. Anchored by the moody, atmospheric art of Graham Ingels and Manny Stallman, the title delivered gritty frontier tales of a lone gunslinger. While it didn’t achieve the lasting fame of its TV namesake, the series stands as a notable example of Atlas’s mid-1950s Western output, showcasing the raw, shadowed style that defined Ingels’s pre-EC Comics work.
