Gunsmoke Blazing Hero of the West

Based on the hit radio and television show, Gunsmoke Blazing Hero of the West was a short-lived 1950s comic from Atlas Comics, running just eight issues. The series brought the iconic U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon to the four-color page, capturing the grit and moral complexity of the Old West that made the franchise a landmark of adult Western storytelling. It stands as a notable early example of a licensed comic adaptation from a major pre-Marvel publisher.
