NEW: Classic Korean War 2011 12-Month Calendar!

With Kim Jong Il again doing whatever psycho things he does when he gets bored or desperate, rumors of war with North Korea are once more circulating thru the world.
So, we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ thought now is the time to re-present art showing how pop culture (in particular, comic books), portrayed the Korean Police Action to the American public during the hostilities!

Well. they did it like this...

...and like this!

We're offering these rarely-seen classics of pop art to a modern audience on a brand-new 12-month calendar featuring a dozen classic 1950s comic covers, all digitally-restored and remastered directly from the actual books!

For those who wish to relive those days, or those who hope the end result this time will be the same as last time, this is the Christmas present for them!

Let Kim Jong Il BEWARE!

We did it before and we can do it AGAIN!

The Woman Who Loved Scrooge--Belle!

When you think of Ebenezer Scrooge, "lovable" is probably the last word you'd associate with him.
Yet, one woman gave her heart to him...was engaged to him...and had her heart broken by him!
Her name was Belle!

She appears twice in A Christmas Carol, during Scrooge's journey with the Ghost of Christmas Past.
First, we see how the young Scrooge choose between his love of money and love of her.
Second, we see how, after the breakup, she married a good man and together they raised a loving family, giving Scrooge a look at what "might have been" had he chosen to remain with her!

Almost every dramatic adaptation shows the first incident, but omits the second scene (usually due to time constraints), thus many people have never known how Belle's life turned out after Scrooge left her!
(You'd be surprised how many people never actually read the story, only seen tv or film versions!)

Most of the illustrators of the many editions that have been printed over the decades have also bypassed the conclusion of Belle's plotline.
But not Arthur Rackham!
The legendary illustrator did not one, but two color illustrations just for the short conclusion to Belle's story in Stave Two!
And we at Atomic Kommie Comics™ just had to include both of them in our A Christmas Carol collection!
One, Belle & Children shows Scrooge's once-love playing with her kids.
The other, Belle's Family portrays the children crowding around their father as he comes home, laden with presents!

They're absolutely beautiful pieces, some of the best work Rackham ever produced!
Enjoy!
