After becoming a professional comics artist in 1948 at the age of 17- by 21 Al Williamson was well-regarded enough as a Western and science-fiction illustrator to be recruited for the EC Comics staff roster – the absolute peak of the field in the 1950s- and a team rarely challenged since. After the Comics Code forced EC to reduce their business- Williamson found himself at the door of Atlas Comics- the largest employer of freelancers in the field.From 1955-60- Williamson would draw 99 stories for Atlas (both solo and with help by Fleagle Gang studio cohorts Angelo Torres and Roy Krenkel- plus Gray Morrow and Ralph Mayo) in mostly western and fantasy genres- with a smattering of war- romance and jungle girl adventure. He flourished on Westerns- freely and loosely rendered four-page morality plays- many scripted economically by Stan Lee. With his extensive oeuvre subsequently based mostly in newspaper strips (including Flash Gordon- Secret Agent Corrigan- and the syndicated Star Wars- at George Lucas’ own request)- or working largely as an inker- his Atlas stories collectively are the largest single body of work Williamson would ever do as a primary creator for one company. Fantagraphics is proud to present this Al Williamson Artist Edition to finally showcase this distinct period of his remarkable career.
