AstroZombies, Haunted Houses, & Living Dead...

Ah, Halloween...
One of our favorite times of the year here at Atomic Kommie Comics™!
And what better time to add some new ghoulish goodies to Seduction of the Innocent™ and Horror Comics of the 1950s™?
SEE: the moody moonlit graveyard of the full-color Italian poster for the original Night of the Living Dead!
SEE: the kitchy graphics of the rarely-seen Astro Zombies poster (believe it or not, the film was PG)!
SEE: the koolest ghoul of all...Vincent Price, on the classic poster for the original House on Haunted Hill?
And let's not forget
The Green Slime!
Last Man on Earth AND Omega Man!
The ORIGINAL Demon Barber of Fleet Street!
I Married a Monster from Outer Space!
The ORIGINAL Little Shop of Horrors!
Occhio de Uccide!
They Came from Beyond Space!
AND (You knew we had to have this one) Plan 9 from Outer Space!
The movie poster graphics are up now, and the comics will be added by the beginning of next week! (We'll do a separate post for them)
Buy them! Trade them! Collect 'em all!

We made WikiPedia!!!

Every few days we Google "Atomic Kommie Comics™" to see if anyone's mentioned or linked to us. (C'mon admit it! You ALL do it!)
Anyway, imagine our surprise when we discovered that an article writer for Wiki sourced us for an article on the Golden Age comics characters The Target & Targeteers! using our previous blog entry about the character!
Kool!

Happy Halloween "Horrors" (G & PG rated!)

September is here, school has started, the leaves are turning orange and brown, and already our somewhat- warped thoughts naturally turn to...HALLOWEEN, the koolest holiday of all!
We at Atomic Kommie Comics™ have told you about our Horror Comics of the 1950s™ and Seduction of the Innocent™ sections, PLUS the Martians, Martians, Martians™ category of The Future WAS Fantastic™, all of which have kool retro horror-oriented goodies year-round for the older kids-at-heart.
But what about something for the younger crowd, the tweens and pre-teens, the toddlers and babies?
Well, never let it be said we ignored a target demographic!
We have a brand-new Haunted Halloween section with a subsection specifically-for those little ones who want a slightly-scary take on the spectral and spooky, as well as one for the 7-13 category who want a bit more meat on the bone (as it were).
Plus were offering, (for the first time) Yard Signs, plus; invitation cards, and greeting cards, which we'll customize/personalize, with a message of your choice in a frightening font, for...FREE!
One design is currently up, with several more in the works for the end of this week.
Note to the older crowd, sorry, but the shirts 'n stuff are kid-sized only.
Have a look and order now, before the late-October rush!

Luana & Gwendoline

In our ongoing search for pop culture coolness, Atomic Kommie Comics™ has come across posters for two of the funkiest flix of the 70s-80s for our line of kool kollectibles including t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, and other tchochkies...
Luana (aka Luana - la Figlia della Foresta Vergine [Italy], Luana - Der Fluch des weißen Goldes [West Germany], Luana, the Girl Tarzan [USA]) was an Italian jungle flick featuring the only Eurasian jungle princess I've ever seen, a little-known actress named Mei Chen who looks really good in a fur bikini! Produced in 1968, but not released to the US until the mid-70s, it's best known for two American posters featuring art by none other than fantasy art legend Frank Frazetta! (There was also a novelization by Alan Dean Foster [who did a helluva lot of them in the 70s] with the Frazetta art on the cover! And the key art was used as a cover for Vampirella #31, which featured a comic adaptation of the movie!)
Needless to say, we've found BOTH of the posters (along with a non-Frazetta European one) and are offering them at our Menacing Maidens section of Seduction of the Innocent™.
PLUS: we've added the Indiana Jones-style poster for the 80s Just Jackln movie version of John Wilie's Sweet Gwendoline strip called Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, featuring video vixen Tawny Kitaen. The film is perhaps the classiest R-rated sexploitation film ever done, with a real sense of visual style, and actors who can actually act, despite truly awful dialogue! (The director also did the 80s versions of Emmanuelle and The Story of O.)
Mix in poster for both Cleopatra Jones blaxploitation flix, SuperChick, and the pre-Charlies' Angels team Ebony, Ivory & Jade, and you'll see why Menacing Maidens is a must-see site for the SERIOUS schlock fan!

John McCain...the Betrayer

Sometimes, life imitates art.
Sometimes, art fits life.
In archiving some graphic files, I came across one that I felt could be modified to express my dismay at Republican Senator John McCain's failure to back the GI Bill to provide much-needed help to veterans.
Imagine, a fellow veteran unwilling to help his fellows, his comrades, his buddies!
Thus, the image you see at left of a helpless medic pleading for help as his last bottle of precious plasma is blasted by an unseen enemy...
You can find it at McCain the Betrayer on shirts, stickers, buttons, mugs, and other goodies.
Plus: I'll provide a volume discount if you need one. If it means getting the message out, I'd rather just break even.
We can't allow him to become the Commander-in-Chief!
