Top Secret--Film noir on the printed page!


As you know, we at Atomic Kommie Comics are rabid comics fans.
The perfect interplay of text and illustration just makes us drool.
But sometimes, just sometimes, there are images that are so graphic, so iconic, that text would only detract from them.
That's what Top Secret, a new section in Crime & Punishment
is about.
Film-noiresque panels from Golden Age crime comics that tell a whole story without captions or balloons.
Have a look for yourself! See how the pics look on shirts, mugs, mousepads and other goodies.
And here's a question...what story do they tell you?

Johnny Danger--His name is spelled A-C-T-I-O-N!

You may think, judging from our recent posts, Atomic Kommie Comics is just superheroes and superheroines!
Wrong!
We cover every genre we can think of ...
The Future WAS Fantastic! (Sci-Fi/Fantasy)
Horror Comics of the 1950s (pretty self-explanatory)
Western Comics Adventures (also pretty self-explanatory)
True Love Comics Tales (ditto)
War: Past, Present & Future™ (also ditto)
Pop Art Martial Arts™ (double ditto)
Seduction of the Innocent™ (The stuff your grandparents didn't want your parents to see when they were your age!)
and Crime & Punishment™ our newest section.
Within C&P is a new subsection, Private Dicks, devoted to hard-boiled pulp-style private eyes like Johnny Danger, Mr Risk, Ken Shannon P.I., Molly O'Day Super-Sleuth, and, believe it or not, "Private Eye"!

Check 'em out before they check you out!

Dynamic Man & Dynamic Boy!!!

We discovered in Project SuperPowers #1 that Dynamic Man, who like the original Human Torch is an android/robot, was no longer a hero!
We at Atomic Kommie Comics also discovered that we had inadvertently left him out of our initial assortment of Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics!
Our bad!
Never let it be said that we don't own up to our mistakes, and move to correct them in record time!
We dug thru our collection of Golden Age books and came up with... Dynamic Man & Dynamic Boy in three different designs including their 1st cover appearance!
Enjoy, people!

Vote FOR Terror--The Black Terror, that is! ;-)

Anyone can vote for Hillary or Barack.
But only you can rock the vote for the one-and-only Black Terror!
He knows what has to be done to those guys in Washington, and you know he'll do it!
Show you don't take no s#1t from anyone!
Proudly wear the Atomic Kommie Comics candidate who will clean up politics (and leave a bloody trail in the process)!
He's as relevant now as in the 1940s, where this classic cover first appeared during the Golden Age of Comics.
Go to Black Terror & Tim and cast your vote with the one thing that really counts...your wallet!
While you're there, you might want to visit the other Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics.
(And don't forget to see his current adventures in Alex Ross' Project SuperPowers, on sale now at comics shops everywhere! BUY IT!)

NEW: "Lost" Heroes of the Golden Age LogoWear!


Along with classic covers from the Golden Age of Comics, Atomic Kommie Comics is now offering (due to a number of requests) the logos that adorned the comics as stand-alone images on our collectibles in our Lost Heroes of the Golden Age of Comics line.
If you go to LogoWear you'll see the current batch of goodies including The Black Terror, The Fighting Yank, The Green Lama, Amazing-Man, and The Face. Anthology titles like Exciting Comics, Startling Comics, Keen Detective Funnies, etal, will also be coming shortly, along with many more heroes like The Flame, The Owl, Frankenstein, etc.

Note: these are not the new, trademarked logos for the Project SuperPowers versions of the public domain characters, but the original logos from the 1940s-50s! Personally, we hope Dynamite will do some tie in products with art by Ross, Sadowski, etc. (I'll be one of the first in line to buy them when they do! Hell, you should see the amount of Alex Ross stuff I have in my collection!) ;-)
BUY Project SuperPowers #0 (out now), and if you're looking for some kool kollectibles featuring the classic heroes, stop by here!
