Is "Tomorrow's War" Almost Here?

Nuclear war with the Russkies!

In 1953, we thought it might occur around 1972...

...as this never-reprinted tale from Youthful's Atomic Attack #5 (1953) shows!

Read it HERE, at our "brother" RetroBlog War: Past, Present & Future...before it's too late!!

Does Imperialist Running Dog Putin Realize World War III Already Happened?

Nuclear Armageddon occurred in 1960...

...not once, but twice!

At least, that was the basis for two different series from the same publisher running simultaneously in 1952; Atomic War! and World War III!

Oddly, the premiere issue of World War III presented a similar series of events to the first issue of Atomic War, but in a slightly-different time-frame, and a different order!
There were no cross-overs and certain events and available technology were very different in the two titles, indicating the two series were alternate universe / multiverse versions of each other!
BTW, Atomic War! came first, in November, 1952, with a second issue following in December, then going bi-monthly in February and April, 1953.
World War III ran in March and May of 1953, the months Atomic War! wasn't published, giving kids of the era a monthly fix of future fun!

Noted comics, pulp, and paperback author Robert Turner wrote both issues of World War III, but the writer(s) of Atomic War! are unknown.

With Russia threatening us with nuclear annihilation (again), we thought we'd call your attention to our re-presentation of these kool examples of Cold War paranoia at our "brother" RetroBlog ™, War: Past, Present & Future™.

Russkies in Iran: T-MAN "Death Trap in Iran" & "Trouble's Double"

What happens when you combine Russkies and Iran in a spy story?

Besides a Repug's wet-dream, you get this kick-butt tale from Quality's T-Man #3 (1952)!

But, that's not all!

There's also this sanitized-for-your-protection, Comics Code-modified reprint from Quality's T-Man #31 (1956), which waters down all the kool hard-boiled elements from the original tale...and makes the Russkies into generic "Communists"!

IS THIS TOMORROW? Russkies/Communists and Propaganda

Even children 80 years ago knew how Russkies use propaganda...

...as this 1940s tale on our "brother" RetroBlog, Seduction of the Innocent! demonstrates!

Remember that Vladimir Putin, was both a KGB officer and high-ranking Communist Party member!

(If you believe Vlad's "ex" KGB and Communist Party, his actions in this [and other] matters would say otherwise...)

DUCK & COVER Part 1

As Putin's Russia attacks Ukraine, bringing the world closer to a potential nuclear conflict...

...it behooves us to look back at how the government thought we'd have to deal with a potential nuclear attack!

As you might have guessed, this was a comic booklet that was handed out to students in the 1950s-1960s who were shown the famous Duck and Cover movie in their classroom!

Reading Room WORLD WAR III "Unleashed" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...in the Summer of 1960, the Soviet Union launched a devastating nuclear sneak attack on the United States...

Oddly, this series presented a similar series of events to the first issue of Atomic War, but in a slightly-different time-frame, and a different order!
There were no cross-overs and technology and certain events were very different in the two titles.
BTW, Atomic War! came first, in November, 1952, following in December, then going bi-monthly in February and April, 1953.
World War III ran in March and May of 1953, the months Atomic War! wasn't published, giving kids of the era a monthly fix of fissionable future fun!
In mid-1953 most of the Ace Publishing comic line, except for romance and war books (WWII & Korea, not future), and one horror title, were cancelled.
The remainder died when the publisher dropped comics altogether in 1956, concentrating on paperbacks (including the legendary Ace Doubles) until the company was purchased by Grosset & Dunlap in 1972, and is now a highly-successful division of Penguin Publishing Group.
Story by pulp and paperback novel author Robert Turner, who wrote all the tales in both issues of World War III.

We pause to catch our breaths and take in the sheer devastation.

Reading Room ATOMIC WAR! "Sneak Attack" Conclusion

We have already seen...

On a quiet night in 1960, the Soviet Union launched a treacherous attack on the United States utilizing nuclear weaponry.
Though caught off-guard due to Commie sleeper agents disabling most of NORAD's Distant Early Warning System, America's armed forces swing into action...

In reality, a mid-air burst would be as effective, if not more so, than a nuclear bomb hitting the ground, with the electro-magnetic pulse effectively destroying all electronics and a shock wave unobstructed by buildings or geographic features.

From the New York Journal-American Archive at the University of Texas

This 1952 tale launched the short-lived Atomic War comic book series, which presented a remarkably-consistent "future" world of 1960 with it's own continuity.
Illustrated by Ken Rice, this premiere tale from Ace's Atomic War! #1 (1952) establishes the premise and leaves the reader shell-shocked.
