This was actually a pretty common practice between the US and foreign editions. Think I read a blog post by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo that refers to this as "Burgosation" : http://timely-atlas-comics.blogspot.com/2016/10/atlas-errata-cover-alterations-and.html "According to all accounts, Carl Burgos was the unofficial cover editor of the 1950's Atlas line. Several months ago (here) I showed how Burgos had a hand in tinkering with an inordinate amount of these covers, a process I termed "Burgosation". This often went beyond mere inking as many/most of these covers were already inked by their original artists before Carl Burgos stepped in. Comic book production as it existed will frequently have artists adding to covers by others, and Atlas did this frequently..... Maneely with Colletta, Severin with Maneely, Colletta with Williamson, Brodsky with Burgos, Burgos with "everyone" .... the list goes on and on. Some of the tinkering could have been necessitated due to comics-code reasons, but frequently it looks like there was no reason at all other than obsessive compulsiveness. The end result are some weird mash-ups and a lot of fun for latter day art spotters to test their abilities. But multiple hands on published Atlas covers is "not" what I'm talking about here. Now, by virtue of the easy online access to foreign reprints of Atlas comics, reprints (as I mentioned above) many of us never realized even existed all the years we collected Atlas titles, the remarkable discovery has begun of the existence of earlier, unaltered or un-Burgosized versions of many of these Atlas covers. These early renditions were often statted before being altered and later used by foreign publishers in countries where code restrictions were non-existant. These publishers included L. Miller & Son and Alan Class of the United Kingdom, and Transworld Features Syndicate, Inc. (La Prensa) in Mexico."

KirbyJack Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Weird what the 1950's mindset found comforting. "This comic is safe for my children because he's white and wearing a suit." bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted December 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2022 Finally completed my Amazing Adventures / Amazing Adult Fantasy run! But ... this is the only one in the run where I have an 8.0 instead of 7.0. I would definitely be interested in trading down from 8.0 to a nice presenting 7.0, if anyone wants to work something out. blazingbob, Jasonmorris1000000, frozentundraguy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
