Spies, Secret Agents, and SuperCrooks!

Along with OSS 117, Atomic Kommie Comics™ is returning a number of 1960s superspies to active duty for use on t-shirts, tote bags and other beachwear, including fumetto hero / villain Diabolik in Danger: Diabolik (see above)...

...and Bulldog Drummond, in not one, but two movies, Deadlier than the Male (above) and Some Girls Do (below).

Order them a size larger than you usually wear and they'll make the perfect sun top for either male or female!

OSS 117 is back!

During the 1960s, one of the hottest competitors to the James Bond series was the OSS 117 series of flix.
"Who?"
OSS 117!
"Never heard of him!"
Predating 007 in books (1949) and movies (1956), secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath was as popular in Europe and Asia as James Bond, but didn't make an impact in the USA.
Until 2008, when the film series, which ended in 1971, was revived and reformatted as a campy spoof featuring a overly-confident, but surprisingly-competent hero.
The first flick, Cairo: Nest of Spies, turned into an arthouse and dvd rental hit in the US!
The newest film, Lost in Rio is already out on dvd, but you should catch it in the theatre while you can.

And when you do, go "secret chic" and wear this shirt, with it's retro graphics taken from the poster for 1968's No Roses for OSS 117 starring John Gavin (who was almost James Bond in Diamonds are Forever)!

Metropolis: Fritz Lang's Classic...RESTORED!

One of the seminal films of the genre, Metropolis has influenced countless other sci-fi films, tv shows, even comics.
From the set design of Blade Runner to the robot C3PO in the Star Wars series to costuming in The BodyGuard, elements of Metropolis' production design have been used and reused, and continue to be used...
As for the film itself, there have been spin-off anime, novels, graphic novels (by comics legend Michael Kaluta, no less!), even a West End musical (and how many silent movies have had that honor?)!
Now, a restored version of the film with almost a half-hour of unseen-for-decades footage has been released!
To celebrate, we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ have released a half-dozen designs based on the original movie posters emblazoned on a new line of kool kollectibles including t-shirts, mugs, and other funky items, most of them featuring iconic imagery of the robotrix Maria! (Actually, we did them for ourselves, and they turned out so well that we decided to release them to the public!)
Enjoy, and catch the film at an arthouse near you NOW!

Design of the Week--Giant Anime Robot!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
This week, we stay with our Asian graphics motif and go mecha with Giant Anime Robot! featuring a kool mechanical man and it's motorcycle-riding pilot from a 1970s series never shown in the USA!
It's colorful and exciting, but non-violent, so it's suitable for tots and toddlers as well as older kids and adults!
More anime fun to come...
