In the Shadow of the Atomic Age 6 6

[JohnT]

Nice gritty romance cover by Elias.

Nice non-gritty romance cover by Kodak.

More humor...

A few months after Showcase 4, but decidely Atomic in character. And a great greytone!

 

[JohnT]

Not the best copy, but a book I really like...

 

[JohnT]

Roll in the hay anyone?

A few months after Showcase 4, but what the heck. What an odd cover!

 

[JohnT]

One more and I'll call it a night. I love this black cover...

These fit right in, JT! Love the expression on Frog.

[JohnT]

Another favotite Atlas title...

 

 

Everett did some amazing work in the Atomic Age. I always resepect him as a vernerable GA artist, but since joining the boards and seeing stuff like this--and of course his horror covers--I've come to believe at his peak he was up there with just about anyone.

Beautiful cover. I need a near mint copy for less than $50. Anyone?

[JohnT]

One of only two Frazetta stories that I own in this one. I like this Atomic weapon in the Old West cover! Seems pretty symbolic of the Atomic Age.

His GA work, while different, is just as good.

Barney Baxter?

It really is amazing that DC only created one superhero in the Atomic Age (I guess maybe two if you include Martian Manhunter), and even this one is as much a sci-fi spaceman who happens to have super powers as he is a superhero.

 

This is the fifth appearance of Captain Comet, and the second story with Murphy Anderson doing the art. These early Strange Adventure issues are phenonmenal. This one has Anderson, Infantino, and Toth.

Hmm. Is there some kind of AdamStrange / Metro connection?

 

As Artie Johnson used to say..."Veeeeery Interesting!"

I was responding to AtlasFan's earlier post but didn't quote it.

 

Here are some super-nice copies of Atlas' SGT BARNEY BARKER...the Atlas answer to Sgt Bilko..great art by Severin.

 

Severin based the fast-talking Barker not only on Bilko, but on Stan Lee - who looks alot like the Sarge!

 

Anyone got a nice #2 ?

 

Psst..I am also looking for nice copies (F or better) of SAILOR SWEENEY 12-14...thanks,

Bill
