Very happy to add this one to the pile. I've been loving Atlas war more and more recently.

Just got back from the Williamsburg Nostalgia Festival. They play old Movies and Serials through Saturday night ( 9th ) and have a vendor's room that features lobby cards, movie posters, autographs, DVD's, albums, books, …. and of course, comics. This is a good show to pick up Atlas Books from the 50's that are Western or War mostly, but I like those. GOD BLESS....

I love Al Williamson! I was on a binge a few years ago picking up as many Atlas I could find with his work. There are loads of them in all genres. 

I think his ACG work is also very underrated. Second only to his EC work.

+1 some fantastic stories by Williamson in ACG with at times longer page count to let the story breathe.

This is another Williamson story that I especially like. GOD BLESS....

I found an exceptional Williamson story in an Atlas romance book a while back. If I can find it again, I'll post some shots. I wouldn't be surprised if Frazetta ghost-inked a few panels... they were close friends and something like that wouldn't surprise me. Another artist whose stories in Atlas books is always a pleasant surprise is Angelo Torres. GOD BLESS...

All of those are fantastic.... but that last one.... it's tough in any shape above good. Atlas war is so cool..... I'm especially happy with the one I just got from your sales thread. I'm struggling to leave it in the slab... I prefer them raw but it's top census (...I think). Thanks for letting it go, Chris. Battle Ground has always been one of my favorite titles for Atlas, even though it doesn't have the early 50's material that was especially gnarly, like War and Battle. GOD BLESS....

One and only graded currently so it is the highest

Awesome book ..... I almost grabbed it myself but the CFO would not have been happy hahahah.

I always liked Atlas a little, but when I started trying to help Frank finish out his complete Marvel collection from 1957 to 1979, I just kept noticing how cool they were... next thing I knew, it was hopeless for me. That BG 3 is actually a little tougher than some of the others in the title, and the Heath cover clinched it. GOD BLESS...

Battle-ground 2,3,4,12 & 14 covers all really stand out. Some really great cover work by Heath, Maneely & Severin in the run (IMO). Seems as of late the old war books are getting a little more attention. Last show I attended there was even a few dealers who had wall space devoted to older war books.

I like that and also don't like that  .... the prices for buying were better when it was just me and 6 other guys scattered across the globe who wanted them. GOD BLESS....

In the spirit of this thread, here are a few cover proofs that I acquired here on the boards a while back. Rock Murdock ....
