Frontier Western #5 - Al Williamson, Matt Baker art

Frontier Western #5

Frontier Western v1 #5, 1956 - Al Williamson does a text story illustration, well drawn but too small to be of much significance. The highlight of the issue is Matt Baker's tale of a frontiersman. He begins with two spacious panels, depicting a solitary man in the wilderness (see interior page below). Note how Baker suggests loneliness through contrasts in scale and uses surrounding trees to frame the central figure. Other artists in this issue include Jack Davis, Doug Wildey and Reed Crandall. Cover by Russ Heath. This is 1 of 3 Frontier Western issues by Baker and 3 of 4 Frontier Western issues by Williamson. /// Baker gallery
