Wow, so Atlas Seaboard did actually have at least one outlet...

 

Planet of Vampires. Sigh, I loved that book and was crushed when they ceased publishing. Hot chicks in ripped spacesuits chased by vampires. Doesn't get any better.

 

:whatthe:

What's most shocking about this pic is that Police Action, starring Lomax is nearly sold out. :insane:

 

Seriously, in the Northeast all the Atlas Seaboard titles made it to the same 7-11 spinner racks as the Marvels and DCs. Marvel Superhero zombie that I was, I bought every book available in that pic except the DC war and some of the Marvel horror. Also bought the Eisner Spirit mags. With the proliferation of titles, introduction of a new company, and increased cover price for the Giants, it was getting a bit expensive to be a serious monthly collector as a young adult with virtually no money.

Heck, they were in every convienence store ever I bought in. I don't think their demise was a lack of distribution but more a lack of initial overhead...

 

Hell, due to the way the distro market worked before the DM, I'm not sure they knew exactly what their sales were until they folded...

6 Atlas books, 2 Adams covers!!!

 

Seaboard Atlas, Some sleeper books to be sure, seriously under rated IMO! I loved that stuff and still pick up collections in Highgrade when I find them!

 

I would love for some of those characters to be resurected. I wonder who owns them? hm

The Atlas/Seaboard characters are owned by Jason Goodman of the Goodman Media Group located in NYC. I believe Jason is the son of Chip Goodman and Martin Goodman's grandson. Word has it that he will sell each character for 10K or 100K for all of them. Seems a bit excessive for characters that have not seen the light of day in over 30 years.

 

I get many requests thru the Atlas Archives about contacting the owner of the Atlas/Seaboard properties but as of yet no good has come from it.
