Reading Room ALARMING ADVENTURES "New Star"

Things aren't always what they seem...

...as this story, with a Twilight Zone-style ending proves!

Ah, the old "it's Earth and we didn't realize it!" trope!

Did artist Bob Powell also write this never-reprinted tale from Harvey's Alarming Adventures #2 (1962)?

His studio was supplying a lot of comics material to several different publishers, and even from his earliest work for Fox back in the late 1930s, Powell would sometimes write the stories as well!

Reading Room FLIP FALCON IN THE FOURTH DIMENSION "The Devil with Lucifer!"

Is there nothing Flip Falcon can't do?

Even battle Satan himself to a standstill?

Wow!

Much attention has been given recently to fellow Fox Comics creator Fletcher Hanks for his way-out work on strips like StarDust and Fantomah.

But writer/artist Don Rico could come up with equally-astounding stories (and was a better draftsman) as this never-reprinted story from Fox's Fantastic Comics #6 (1940) proves!

Reading Room CAPTAIN JOHNER AND THE ALIENS "Into the Abyss"

We've gone COSMIC, true believers!

And things are about to get really desperate!

Is this...God?

Creator/writer/artist Russ Manning presents some interesting concepts in Gold Key's Magnus, Robot Fighter #21 (1968)!

Space!

Time!

Life!

Death!

Pretty "heavy" for a comic, eh?

Keep in mind, what you're seeing every week, the original readers saw every three months!

Imagine trying to keep track of this series of 4-page installments like that!

More than likely, many readers couldn't remember the details over that long a stretch, so these individual chapters would probably have an impact far out of proportion to their actual intent...which is pretty impressive at any rate!

20 Years Later...Mars STILL Attacks!

It's almost Halloween, and, in a fit of nostalgia, I searched the Net for info about the movie Mars Attacks. (I worked for Topps Comics when the film came out in 1996!)
Imagine my surprise to discover...thanks to the WayBack Machine, that the movie's site was operational until July of 2011, and still exists HERE!
If you want to see a classic example of pre-Web 2.0 site-making, have a look!
It's retro-kool!

I Love Zombies! You Love Zombies! Everybody Loves Zombies!

ZOMBIES!

Call them the undead, the unliving, reanimated corpses, or even the ultimate carnivores, zombies are HOT, HOT, HOT!

With The Walking Dead back on tv screens for its' final season, zombies have never been more popular!
But it, as well as all the other films and tv series currently featuring zombies owe a debt to the visual depictions of the shambling undead from the horror pulps and comics of the Golden Age (1930s-1950s)!

Like video games today, those periodicals were deemed so harmful to the psyches of impressionable youths that the government held hearings about possibly banning them altogether! 
The comics industry barely survived, but ended up toning down horror comics to a mere shadow of their blood-dripping selves, only recently, in the 1990s,  returning in all their gruesome glory!

Even with modern technology, today's zombie flix are hard pressed to match these classic comics for visceral visual thrills.
So, it's with pardonable pride that Atomic Kommie Comics™ re-presents some of the creepiest and koolest covers from those bygone days, digitally-restored and remastered, on a line of collectibles including mugs, hoodies, iPad/Kindle/messenger bags, and a 2016-17 12-month calendar!

If you're looking for a birthday or holiday present for a fan of the life-impaired (or a Halloween treat for yourself), why not combine one of our kool kollectibles with one of the books or DVDs available on-line or at brick-and-mortar stores?
