Is THIS Our Future???

With North Korea threatening us with nuclear weapons (again)...

...maybe we should look at how it was during the Cold War by looking at what they thought (in the 1950s) would happen in the near-future (the 1960s onward)!

Turns out it wasn't so great, as you'll see when you click on the links to our "brother" RetroBlog War: Past, Present & Future...and read about...

Atomic War

and

World War III

...which were two different series with two different plotlines and histories taking place at the same time in the near future...from the same publisher!

Over 60 Years Later, and North Korea's STILL At It!

Is this what it's going to come down to?

The recent rumblings and threats from the Hermit Kingdom about atomic weaponry and the will to use it sounded strangely familiar.
A quick look thru the extensive Atomic Kommie Comics™ archives shows a whole section of Korean Police Action kool kollectibles featuring designs from over 50 years ago for the perusal (and purchase) of all you veterans, relatives of vets, and / or war comics fans in our War: Past, Present, & Future™ collection!
Never has "retro" been so timely!
So, if you want to make a statement, or just look like you're up on current events, go with Korean Police Action mugs, t-shirts, messenger bags, or other tchochkies...before the missiles fly and the bombs drop!

Friday Fun BIG APPLE COMIX "Can You Spot the New York Air Breather?" & "Backward"

We've reached the final two pages from the legendary Big Apple Comix!

Written and illustrated by underground cartoonist Margery Peters (aka Petchesky), known for her work on Wet Satin and Wimmen's Comix!

To cap it all off, Fabulous Flo herself writes and draws the epilogue...

Sadly, Flo passed from this mortal coil a few weeks ago.

But her contributions to our shared culture will live on forever...

Be here next Friday as we introduce a new ongoing feature!

Reading Room WORLD OF FANTASY "One Night"

Spaceship crewmen on shore leave at a distant port...

...sounds like a recipe for trouble!

Like many Baby Boomers (who, ironically, were this story's target audience of 6-13 year old children in 1956), Pete Cooper didn't plan for his retirement!

As a result, he made a gaffe that assured his fate would be exactly what he feared!

Illustrated by penciler Bob Forgione and inker Jack Abel, this never-reprinted morality play appeared in Atlas' World of Fantasy #2 (1956)!

The writer is unknown.

Sci-Fi Art: a Graphic History

Reading Room WORLD OF MYSTERY "Night I Lost My Body!"

Some people lose their minds!

This guy will tell you about something even worse...

...in a never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Mystery #7 (1957)!

Illustrated by longtime Simon & Kirby Studio artist Marvin Stein, the story seems to have a very Jack Kirby "feel" to the panel structures and character poses.

Could Kirby have helped out by doing uncredited layouts?

We'll never know...
