Heath drew several Western stories for such Timely comics as ''Wild Western,'' ''All Western Winners,'' ''Arizona Kid,'' ''[[Black Rider (comics)|Black Rider]],'' ''Western Outlaws,'' and ''Reno Browne, Hollywood's Greatest Cowgirl.'' As Timely evolved into Marvel's 1950s iteration, known as [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]], Heath expanded into other genres. He drew the December 1950 premiere of the two-issue superhero series ''[[Marvel Boy]],'' as well as scattered science fiction anthology stories (in ''[[Venus (comic book)|Venus]],'' ''[[Journey into Unknown Worlds]]'', and ''Men's Adventures''); [[Crime comics|crime drama]] (''Justice''); [[Horror comics|horror]] stories and covers (''Adventures into Terror'', ''[[Marvel Tales (comics)|Marvel Tales]]'', ''[[Menace (Atlas Comics)|Menace]]'', ''[[Mystic (Atlas Comics)|Mystic]]'', ''Spellbound'', ''[[Strange Tales]]'', ''[[Uncanny Tales (comics)|Uncanny Tales]]'', the cover of ''[[Journey into Mystery]]'' #1), [[satire|satiric humor]] (''Wild'', ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]''), and [[war comics|war stories]].<ref name=gcd />
