STLSPIDEY Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Anyone collect this company's comics. I found a copy of The Grim Ghost #3 today at a flea market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Mann Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Picked up a few different titles as part of a group at an auction years ago. Interesting covers.

Brian48 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've [somewhat] started to pick these up. Some hi-grade (with W pages) finds from about 4 months back. All from a .75 cent drek box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I bought a slew of them off the rack, and must have about a quarter of a longbox of them. I remember that at first there was some hope that the company would succeed, since it had a fair number of well known creators working for it. Unfortunately, neither story quality nor sales lived up to the original enthusiasm. Here's a Chaykin book that I bought back in the day and really liked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theVisitor Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If you are interested in more info on Atlas Comics, feel free to visit - www.atlasarchives.com The back story of what went on is much more interesting then the comics they published.

bigfiver69 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The War titles were pretty tame, but there are some nice art jobs in there by All McWilliams, Alex Toth and John Severin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_P Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I have many of these books. All reading copies. When I am at cons, I do look for high-grade issues but I never find any. I watch the two 9.8 Planet of the Vampires #1 (Adams cover) on eBay. They never sell because the guy wants around $250. There is a nice 9.4 copy for $79.

thehumantorch Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I was buying these off the stands. It was nice to see a new company enter the market. My favorite title was Planet of Vampires. Was sad when #4 didn't come out as things were looking grim for the protagonists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Watch out these are akin to fools gold. I've been hoarding high grade copies for a very long time and still no price appreciation! Arts good stories not so much. Their Vicki title (bit of an Archie knockoff) is by far the rarest and most collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_P Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I want nice high-grade copies of some of my fav covers. I don't care what their value is. For example, I have some 9.6s of some of my fav DC bronze age books that have little value or have not really appreciated much, but I love them. Freedom Fighters #1 (9.6) (I have the entire set in very high grade) Rima: the jungle girl #1 (9.6) Beowulf #1 (9.6) Sandman #1 (9.6) (Kirby) Edited August 20, 2016 by Master_P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The story in the first issue of the Brute robs the storyline scene for scene from the 1970s film "Trog" starring Joan Crawford. At least in the beginning of the movie and how he is discovered in the cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
