Cross posting for these, but this is the best place. Picked these up recently at the Boston Con.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Posted this earlier.... but this is an xample of Severin borrowing Maneely's thin line background approach. Maneely was the first person I recall putting it to such dramatic effect.... GOD BLESS.....

I like the thin line backgrounds also and they always make me think of Maneely.

 

This is one of my favorite Severin covers and it's a beaut of a copy.

+1

This is definitely one of Severin's best Atlas covers

This one doesn't have the thin lines..... but it does have one of Severin's "hidden" signatures on a sign behind the crowd. On QTW 16, he hid his mark on an outlaw's belt buckle GOD BLESS...

Great pick-up! I really like the Uncanny Tales 56, especially the lower tier. It's simple but it works for me!

Yeah! I love that panel, a great layout that's very evocative. And it reminds me of Ditko, too.

...... big time. Looks like a very respectable copy too..... GOD BLESS...

I like the hidden sig on the Western Outlaws.

Here's the Quick-Trigger Western.

Quick-Trigger Western #16 has art by Colan, Orlando, Pike, Kirby and Shores.

Here's the Orlando story.

.... sweet. I love the Orlando stuff done for Atlas..... he was a consummate craftsman by that point. GOD BLESS....

That Orlando story is phenomenal! Some terrific western books being posted!

Must...resist...gravitational pull of Atlas Westerns...

I read this recently. I should never have, the art is stunning. I will have to go after the other Atlas issues now. There's already so much stuff I want...

Here's interior splash pages for Man 22 ..... cover to cover brilliance. GOD BLESS...

I got to get me one of those

I'm thrilled to have it ..... and I must confess I had never noticed it on www.atlastales.com on any of my thousands of visits .... it was pointed out to me be a fellow enthusiast on these boards who was kind enough to let me snag their undercopy ..... GOD BLESS....

P.S. The Everett story is as good as anything he's done IMHO ..............

PRETTY copy, Mike ..... I believe the splash scans that I so graciously swiped from the site were originally provided by you.... GOD BLESS....

.... the Krigstein story is nothing to sneeze at either.....

Wow, very nice! I've never paid this title much notice (never really collected war comics) but there are some killer covers in this run. And, obviously, some nice interior work as well. Hmmmmm...

The ones from '52 to '53 seem to be particularly gritty and atmospheric. War Comics 13 has a Robinson cover and 4 super stories.... I would recommend that one to start. There were a couple on eBay and Metro had one. Unfortunately it will likely send you out for more.... GOD BLESS....
