Sunday Williamson Surprise.
A short fantasy intermezzo from Journey Into Unknown Worlds. I can see why the lay-out and certain panels would suggest Al Williamson set this story up, but in the whole he left a lot up to his inker (probably Ralph Mayo again).

Another pure western story by the Al Williamson we know and love. Signed and probably inked by Ralph Mayo. And although the story is called The Lasst Notch, I can assure you that this certainly is not the last ime this plot will be used.

The thirdAl Wiulliamson/Ralph Mayo story from Jann of the Jungle #17 is another one with less Williamsoin, but his style certainly is there. In fact, I see it as a perfect bridge between his earlier Frazetta/Fleagles influenced style and his later Raymond/Prentice work.

The second of three Al Williamson/Ralph Mayo stories in Jann of the Jungle #17. I am surprised to see how well it survived the typically bad coloring at Timely/Atlas at that period.

In my ongoing series sharing all of the stories Al Williamson did for Srtan Lee at Timely/Atlas in the late fifties, we have come to the second issue of Al Williamson Jann of the Jungle . Set up by J. Scott Piike, Williamson took over the series (with Ralph Mayo as his regular inker) with #16. Again, there were three stories, of which this is the first. I am not sure who wrote these stories, but it definitively wasn't Stan Lee.

I don't know how much Al Williamson did on this story from the last issue of Spellbound, but if his pencils aren't overwhelmed by Ralph Mayo, we see how he slowly shifts from his lush Raymond and Frazetta influence to the more slick style of John Prentice and Alex Raymond on Rip Kirby. I have said it before, but the colloring in this period does no one any service.

Another story that is credited to Williamspn and Mayo, but signed by neither. Although I see some evidence of Williamson's paneling, I am guessing Mayo did most of the work. Text not signed by Stan Lee and although it is yet another variation on the 'hero who won't shoot back' trope, is isn't by him either.

The third of the three stories Al Williamson did for Jann of The Jungle #16 opens with a very exciting splash page. We will see more of Jann later.

Another fantasy story (this time from World of Suspense #7), which is probably inked by Ralph Mayo as well. Interesting to see it has touches of Williamson's earlier EC style as well as the slicker Raymond/Prentice inspired stuff he would start doing in the sixties.
