THE Timely Christmas Gift: Korean War Collectibles!

With Kim Jong Un doing whatever psycho things he does when he gets bored or desperate (including screwing with the Internet), rumors of war (at least a cyber-war) with North Korea are once more circulating thru the Free 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 original hostilities back in the 1950s!

We're offering these rarely-seen classics of pop art to a modern audience on a number of kool kollectibles including t-shirts, mugs, playing cards, and a 12-month calendar, all featuring a dozen classic 1950s comic covers, digitally-restored and remastered directly from the actual kick-Commie-butt 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 Un BEWARE!

We did it before and we can do it AGAIN!

Holiday Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas!"

We Have Already Seen...

...that's as concise a synopsis as you'll ever read, so on to the story with all requisite speed...

(Regrettably, the copy we're using doesn't have a final page.)

Written by Robert L May and illustrated by Denver Gillen, this beloved tale was actually an advertising promotion designed to lure customers into doing Christmas shopping!

True!

You can read about it (and see the original 1940s cartoon based on the tale) HERE!

Holiday Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "The Plot (and Fog) Thickens..."

When Last We Left Santa Claus and Rudolph...

...Rudolph lived a sad existence, shunned by his peers because he was "different".

But, on Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus, hindered by severe fog, making him hours behind schedule, delivers gifts to Rudolph's home, he literally sees the solution to his problem...

Reading Room RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER "Who He Is and How He Came to Be"

Much as Disney's versions of classic fairy tales have become the "accepted" ones...

...the 1964 stop-motion animated TV special of Rudolph is the one everyone knows.

But, this is the real story...

Space: the Final Frontier...for Christmas Gifts!

Since the 1890s, and the heyday of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, science fiction-themed presents had a place under the Christmas tree and in Xmas stockings for the young (and young at heart)!
Continuing that entertaining tradition, Atomic Kommie Comics™ is proud to offer our line of retro-design sci-fi/fantasy collectibles, The Future WAS Fantastic!™, for both kids AND adults!
We're talking 12-month calendars, messenger bags, mugs, magnets, t-shirts, sweatshirts and other goodies featuring some of the niftiest illustrations from the comic books, pulp magazines, and movie posters of the 1930s-1960s, all digitally-restored and remastered!
Spaceships with wings and big fins!
Ray Guns that zap an army in a flash!
Slimy Aliens!
Killer Robots!
Heroes in bubble-helmeted tight spacesuits!
Heroines in even tighter space suits!
Never did the future look so...stylish!
If you're looking for something in the vein of Star Wars or Star Trek (You did know that George Lucas wanted to remake Flash Gordon, but King Features didn't want to trust a young director whose biggest credit at that point was American Graffiti, didn't you?), here's some of the stuff that provided the visual inspiration for today's hi-tech flights of fantasy!
Enjoy, and may your rocket tubes never overheat...
