American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Quick-Trigger Western – A-List Artists A’Plenty
*Western: Formerly Cowboy Action (#1-11), Quick-Trigger Western featured in its short run rather superior artwork from the Atlas bullpen – which, it has been noted many times elsewhere, was already a cut above the average. Although devoid of ongoing characters, Quick-Trigger made up for it by presenting outstanding artwork by Williamson, Crandall, Torres, Baker, Orlando, Kirby and others behind very striking covers by Heath, Maneely and Severin. While this was no doubt unplanned – the story assignments were almost certainly random, and shuffled into any title that needed filling – Quick-Trigger’s line-up is particularly serendipitous, and a treat for fans of the Atlas artistic stable. We’re missing only the debut issue, #12, from an otherwise complete Q-T run. Pictured are #15 FN £34, and #17 FN+ £41.
