Frontier Western #5 - Story ONE - There's very little to make me get interested in these Stan Lee Western filler stories - they're all pretty vanilla genre type of writing - and even this story isn't much... but when JACK DAVIS came to Atlas to do a few stories in 1956, well I think we have to perk up and take an interest in that! (Stan even made it the LEAD story!) And... we'll take a look at EACH of those stories as we go along...
