PyroMan--the Shocking Superhero!

Despite his name, PyroMan is not a fire-based hero! (That ability is possessed by The Flame, in the Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics™ lineup.)
Wrongly-convicted and sent to the electric chair, Dick Martin somehow survived electrocution and gained electricity-based powers which he then used to escape and bring the real criminals to justice to prove his innocence!
He then donned a costume and fought crime and saboteurs by using his electromagnetic powers to fly, deflect bullets, and zap baddies!
Atomic Kommie Comics™ has launched a line of kool kollectibles for the Electric Enigma (catchy, eh?) with four of the best covers from his run in Startling Comics, where he alternated with The Fighting Yank on the cover! Among the digitally-restore and remastered covers are his 1st appearance and the classic Alex Schomberg cover at left.
Alex Ross' Project Superpowers is featuring him and Hydro (aka HydroMan) together on the cover of their 4th issue, to create a pseudo-Human Torch/Sub-Mariner theme. I suppose water and electricity go together as well as water and fire do...
Pick up Project SuperPowers, the best Golden Age revival on the stands today, and have a look at our retro-styled goodies at Atomic Kommie Comics™
Tune in tomorrow, when we cover the other half of #4's cover duo--HydroMan (er, "Hydro")!

Contemporary (relatively) Bad Grrrls, Bad Grrrls...

We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ know a winning concept when we see one!
You like Bad Girls (or is that "Bad Grrrls"?)
So we've taken the Women Outlaws idea and "updated" it in our Crime & Punishment™ section to the 1940s-50s with the Crimes by Women line of kool kollectibles.
10 different designs with lots of gun molls, a catfight, and women's prison action!
It's all PG-13 rated!
See the stuff your grandparents didn't want your parents to see! (They thought it would cause juvenile delinquency!)

Captain Science: Hero of Nerds & Geeks everywhere!

We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ are major fans of the tv series The Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon, Leonard, and their associates speak to us as fellow geeks, pardon me, pop culture aficionados.

But what we want to know is...why don't they dress the part?

Sheldon wears Green Lantern t-shirts.
GREEN LANTERN!
Now consider the Earthmen who have worn the particular insignia of the intergalactic police corps that Sheldon wears...
A jock test pilot!
A psychotic social worker/teacher!
An architect/ex-marine!
Note: the newest GL, comic artist Kyle Rayner wears a variation of the insignia Sheldon wears, and is not included. Ironically, of all the Silver/Bronze/Current GLs, he's the GL Sheldon SHOULD be wearing!)

You'd think Sheldon would wear The Batman, the thinking-man's hero, the man with NO powers who can defeat even Superman!
Or the Golden Age Green Lantern, a radio technologist-turned media mogul (what a role model!)

But, if he'd really want to "go geek", he should go...
CAPTAIN SCIENCE (part of our O Captain, My Captain: Captains of the Cosmos line)!
After all, is he not Master of Technology™?
Does he not utilize his knowledge to triumph over bigger, stronger, foes?
Does he not have both a cool name and logo?
And he has a very retro look popular among us ner--I mean pop culture aficionados!
C'mon Big Bang crew, let Sheldon's true nerd shine thru!
Show him wearing CAPTAIN SCIENCE, the clothing line he was born to wear!

"Let's go make a withdrawal..." BANG! BUDDA-BUDDA-BUDDA! BLAM!

Few criminals have been fodder for dramatization more than John Dillinger!
Currently, Johnny Depp is filming a new biopic, Public Enemies, in Illinois.
Many noted actors including Martin Sheen, Mark Harmon, Warren Oates, Robert Conrad, Nick Adams, Ralph Meeker, and Lawrence Tierney have portrayed the notorious gangster in tv and films! Dillinger even appeared in episodes of Lois & Clark and NightMan!
There are numerous novels and historical texts about and including him!
And, he's even been the star of his own comic book!

Atomic Kommie Comics™ proudly offers not one, not two, but five different designs on kool kollectibles! Three classic movie posters and two Golden Age comic covers!
The average guy on the street will wear the poster art for the Johnny Depp film! On the other hand, you, dear reader, as a master of pop culture coolness, would rather go retro at Real-Life Criminals, a section of Crime & Punishment™ devoted to true-crime comics & flix and choose from messenger bags, t-shirts, mousepads and other swag adorned with classic Dillinger imagery!

PLUS: A comic book bonus: From Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine (an incredible blog! Subscribe to it NOW!), here's The True Story of John Dillinger!

Indians weren't always the "bad guys"!

Atomic Kommie Comics™ continues it's revival of Western comic book pop art as kool kollectibles!
New to Western Comic Adventures™ is Native Americans, featuring heroic Indian/Native American/AmerInd lead characters (not sidekicks like Tonto or Little Beaver, who also had their own comics) battled evil and injustice, no matter who was committing it, cowboy or Indian!
Yes, in these books, the Indian won!
So far, we have two collectible designs each for Red Arrow and Indian Braves (featuring Green Arrowhead), and we'll be adding more as we acquire or borrow books to scan.
