It was damned crowded 80 years ago today at Normandy Beach!
Blackhawk and his team were there, battling (what else?) giant Nazi war machines and revealing their secret origin!

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™.

Monday Military Madness D-DAY with Blackhawk, Sgt Fury and Sgt Rock!
It was damned crowded at Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944!
Blackhawk and his team were there, battling (what else?) giant Nazi war machines and revealing their secret origin!
Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos were there (although the cover was a "cheat", since they swam in using SCUBA gear a couple of nights before, knocked out Nazi defenses and communications, then proceeded to the invasion site)!

D-Day in the Comics...Plus Other Goodies!
The final part of our Summer Mini-Blogathon is underway...
Already up are...
(Yes, it was reprinted in a Marvel Masterworks a decade ago, but those are extremely-expensive and didn't sell very well, so most of you have never seen this tale from 53 years ago!)
We gave equal time to Fury's DC counterpart, Sgt. Rock, presenting his never-reprinted D-Day adventure!
But that's not all, True Believer!
But that's not all, True Believer!

Enjoy!

The RetroBlogs Mini-Marathons of 2017!
This summer, each RetroBlog presented a different mini-Blogathon, with some crossing-over between blogs...
The biggest Blogathon was the complete presentation of what many consider to be the first true graphic novel... the 132-page St John's digest-sized b/w one-shot It Rhymes with Lust by writers Arnold Drake and Leslie Waller and illustrator Matt Baker!
This was so cross-genre, it'll be appeared in Seduction of the Innocent, Crime & Punishment, True Love Comics Tales, Heroines, here in Atomic Kommie Comics, and in our newest RetroBlog; Not Safe for Work Comics!
You can start the inter-linked saga HERE!

PLUS...
Hero Histories presented two of the never-reprinted adventures of the Silver Age Plastic Man...his (sorta) origin...
and his team-up with Daddy (the Golden Age Plas) and sidekick Woozy Winks!
Western Comics Adventures spotlighted the complete, never-reprinted adventures of a band of diverse wanderers united by tragedy known as The Bravados!
..and its' companion strip Dollar Bill Ca$h!
Plus: the final, never-published Lone Tiger tale, scanned from the original art!

And with the passing of Jerry Lewis, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video dropped it's look at the never-reprinted adventures of Captain Justice...based on the lost TV series Once a Hero...
BTW, Captain Justice will pop up before Christmas!
We don't want to miss the show's 30th Anniversary!
Sadly, due to the crush of work...and some serious vacation partying...we weren't able to do how the Comics Code altered reprints in sometimes ridiculous ways at Seduction of the Innocent!
...so that one will be set for Halloween!

Is THIS Our Future???
With North Korea threatening us with nuclear weapons (again)...
...maybe
we should look at how it was during the Cold War by looking at what
they thought (in the 1950s) would happen in the near-future (the 1960s
onward)!
Turns out it wasn't so great, as you'll see when you click on the links to our "brother" RetroBlog War: Past, Present & Future...and read about...
and
...which were two different series with two different plotlines and histories taking place at the same time in the near future...from the same publisher!

Dunkirk and Friday Fun on NSFW Comics!
Before this Dunkirk...
...there was this "Dunkirk"!
...a never-reprinted book-length telling of the heroic saga by military comics legend Sam Glanzman!
Available only on our "brother" RetroBlog War: Past, Present & Future!
So where's "Friday Fun" featuring Big Apple Comix?
It's at our newest RetroBlog, Not Safe for Work Comics, because the Wally Wood/Al Williamson tale of a comics fanboy's wet-dream contains nudity!
Check it out HERE...but only if you're an adult (we're going to ask)!
