American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Two-Gun Kid and Western Thrillers – A Double-Barrelled Wild West Update
*Western: Not one, but two Atlas Western series riding into town this week – you know the Two-Gun Kid? Famous Western masked hero, secret identity as a lawyer, met the Avengers? Well, this isn’t that one. Almost forgotten these days is an earlier version of Two-Gun Kid – blonde, unmasked, and more prone to singing about his low-slung Colts (ahem) than arguing cases in court – had a successful career from 1948 to 1961, in his own series and other titles. These are all first series, from #12 (pictured, FA+ £13) to #38. Backing up the Kid is a complete, albeit short-lived series, the anthology Western Thrillers, which ran 4 issues from 1954 to 1955, before rebranding itself as Cowboy Action from #5. Depicted is #1 GD- £15. Both of these new additions are very affordable mid to low grade copies; details on grades and prices may be found, as always, in our online catalogue.
