In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

[comic_lot]

Thanks Bill!

Here's another great 50's cover - with great interior JOHNNY PERIL

 

Great cover!

[Scrooge]

Nice books.

 

Warning - random splash posting. I was going through my BattleFront # 17 -

 

and this is the second story's splash about Patton. The whole issue is solid with Heath, Ayers and Lawrence.

"Queen of the Snows"

 

Alex Toth rules!

Here's a new cover for me. Never seen / noticed it before tonight - steamy -

[selegue]

The caption at the bottom is hilarious (OK, you've got the change She to He and rearrange the sentence a little). I suppose the copy-writer did that on purpose.

I love these mixed-genre books.

That's a sweet book. I'm going to have to put it on the list.

Love that cover I find the Battlefront books to be very difficult

to find in high grade. That book is definitely on my watch list.

Somebody say "Battlefront?"

Perhaps one of the most unintentionally silly comics of all time.

YEAH! What a crazy concept.

How unintentional do you think the silliness really was? There were grown men, "professional" writers, working on it. Do you suppose they laughed their arses off, just like we do when we read it now?

I was lucky to get readable scans of at least one Spurs story (the one with Hitler) and would love to nab copies of the books, but they're hard to find.

What grade are you looking for them in? I thought they were fairly common, as far as Atom Age books go.

Reader copies are OK with me. VG would make them nicer than most of my books of that vintage. I'm a cheapskate.

I'd say keep checking ebay - they usually sell for less than guide there.

Just goes to show that great minds think alike.

 

Some kind of minds, anyway.

you can provide the rimshot

We mentioned Lou Ravielli once somewhere ... but anyway, here's a Ravielli splash about the Brown Bomber -

[bluechip]

Just curious. Does anybody know what is the actual first atomic bomb explosion cover (with the mushroom cloud and all?)

I'm not sure but I seem to remember we've asked / answered that question before. I'll try to search to see if I can turn that discussion up.

 

In the meantime, you guys may know that I have a penchant for in-house ads and, thanks to ft88, here's one from Silly Tunes 5 for the entire Timely funny books line -

[adamstrange]

That's a wonderful house ad!

According to Bob B. a little while ago, he stated that:

 

"Real Life Comics 27 (Jan, Nedor)

Science Comics #1 (Jan)

(above two tied for the first A-Bomb explosion cover?)"

 

Both of the books are dated Jan 1946 -

 

If I had my pick, it'd be Science Comics # 1.

 

P.S.: The bottom of Science Comics got cropped. It reads: "The Exciting Story of the Atomic Bomb"
