Just in time for Black Friday...BLACK HOODIES!

The night before Thanksgiving, Atomic Kommie Comics™ received an e-mail from our supplier, CafePress, that they had just set up to offer black sweatshirts and hoodies.
We immediately went to work, implementing our designs on dark garb where appropriate.
For example, while Santa Claus and SnowMan wouldn't look right on black, Scrooge and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians worked perfectly!
Add Sherlock Holmes (and most of the Crime & Punishment™ line), Horror Comics of the 1950s™, and Seduction of the Innocent™, and you have a cool collection of potential Christmas presents for your pop culture-loving black garb-wearing hipster sweetie!

NOTE: We'll be adding black hoodies & sweatshirts to other categories over the next week, so keep an eye out!

The People who Saved Thanksgiving--Indians!

While we of Atomic Kommie Comics™ are digging into our Thanksgiving turkey and other exciting edibles, let's take a moment to thank the guys who made it possible...Indians!
(Admittedly a mis-label, since Native Americans aren't from India, the name has stuck from 1492 to the Present.)
Remember, if it wasn't for the generosity of the local Indians, the Pilgrims wouldn't have survived their first year in the harsh New England environment!

Yet, in most of pop culture (including comics), Indians are "bad guys"!

Even in the 1950s, there were several attempts to show America's original inhabitants in a more favorable light.
Besides sidekicks to heroes like The Lone Ranger and Red Ryder, there were several Indian characters who were "lead" heroes themselves!

We've found two of the best, Green Arrowhead (who appeared in Indian Braves) and Red Arrow (who had his own title!) and incorporated them into our Western Comics Adventures™ line with four exciting covers!
Both characters fought for truth and justice against anyone, Indian or White, who threatened peace in the Old West!
So, if you're looking for a Western-themed Christmas gift for that special someone, consider the option of a Native American-oriented graphically-kool collectible!
Now, if you'll excuse us, dinner and football await... ;-)

The Christmas Gift that COMBINES SuperHeroes, Sci-Fi, AND Private Eyes--SPACE DETECTIVE!

Blending the hard-boiled gumshoe, sci-fi and superhero genres, Space Detective burst onto the comics scene in 1951.
Future-era wealthy philanthropist Rod Hathway and his secretary Dot Kenny fight interplanetary evil and helped the innocent as Avenger and Teena using the methods of 1940s gumshoes combined with the technology of the far future! Blasters instead of revolvers! Personal jetpacks instaed of taxis!
Stories, whose titles included "Opium Smugglers of Venus" and "SpaceShip of the Dead", delivered fast-paced action illustrated by comics legends Wally Wood and Joe Orlando, who would go on to greater graphic story glory as mainstays of EC Comics' Weird Fantasy and Weird Science titles.

Weird Trivia:
1) Despite the fact that neither character wore a mask, nobody ever commented "hey, ain't you that famous Hathway guy?" or somesuch.
(Maybe they were too busy looking at Teena's cleavage?)
2) Nobody ever calls Rod "Space Detective"! He's always called "Avenger".
3) The original user of the name "Avenger", a Doc Savage-style pulp/comic character, hadn't been published since 1944. The trademark had lapsed, so it was used on this unrelated character from a different company. (This sort of thing is far more common in comics/pulps than you might think. For example, three different companies have had a "Captain Marvel", none of whom were related to the other companies' versions! Marvel Comics itself has had several Captains Marvel including a father and son!)

Atomic Kommie Comics™ has revived Space Detective in our The Future WAS Fantastic™ retro sci-fi collection.
The four-issue series' slick art style is again in vogue with pop culture aficionados (like us) who are also into video games and graphic novels.
We've digitally-restored and remastered all four covers as well as recreating the series' logo!

So if you're looking for something offbeat as a stocking stuffer or main gift for that certain someone, look at Space Detective...before he comes looking for you!
