Chief Victorio's Apache Massacre #NN - Al Williamson / Frank Frazetta art

Chief Victorio's Apache Massacre #NN

Chief Victorio's Apache Massacre v1 #NN (no number), 1951 - This one-shot issue tells of Chief Victorio, an Apache chief known for his raids in the Southwest. Despite the brutality practiced by both races during the Old West, Indians would be portrayed far more negatively in comics and other media. While this cover opts for a more savage depiction, Al Williamson's version is more complex and dignified. The large first panel is a painterly illustration of Chief Victorio at the time of his death. The quality of the pencils begins to deteriorate toward the final pages, as panels begin to simplify and omit details. The excellence of Frank Frazetta's inking really enhance the pages and are primarily responsible for the artwork's success.
