Atomic Horror Suggestions?
« on: October 12, 2011, 01:03:48 PM »
Howdy Folks,

I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some Atomic Horror/Post-Apocalyptic Comics from the Golden Age.
I've seen "Atomic War" and "Atomic Attack", but I was looking for something a bit more SciFi.

Any suggestions?

There's also Commander Battle and the Atomic Sub published by ACG.  DCM has the complete run.  Can't remember if that was more war or more sci-fi though.

Captain Marvel #66 is a pretty gruesome depiction of how even superheroes would be helpless in an atomic war.  Then there's the two series "Atomic War" and "World War III" from Ace, and "Atom-Age Combat" by St' Johns.

 You might also take a look at the Lost World series from Planet Comics #21 through #69 which features a character named Hunt Bowman. The series anticipated apocalyptic science fiction storylines and has many elements which become more or less cliches in the fifties and early sixties, but the Lost World in question is a future Earth which has been conquored by lizardlike aliens from space instead of being the results of atomic war. There's quite a bit of Hunt Bowman in Killraven of Marvel's "War of the Worlds" series from the seventies.

 A series that matches the sort of thing you're looking for is one DCM cannot display; "Atomic Knights" was a sporadic series in issues of Strange Adventures in the very early sixties. Unfortunately, the series was published by DC and is not in the public domain.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I shall check them out.  Atomic Knights sounds interesting, I'll have to see if it was reprinted ever.

DC published a hardcover collection of the entire run (15 stories-1960-1964) of Atomic Knights last year.

Sorry to revive an old post, but I didn't want to start a new thread when there are already so many good recommendations here.

Since it's been a while, does anyone have any more suggestions for public domain titles featuring nuclear war, atomic war, or post-apocalyptic settings?
