Show Us Your Atlas Books - Have A Cigar

26 26

Some of you have wondered why I've been selling so many of my Atlas books lately. It's just that I had an opportunity to pick up a few in really nice shape that I'd always liked. I don't want anyone to think I've just been pimping them up just to lay them down..... so here's the first one that I've managed to pay off ...... I suppose you can say I always went for "ghouls who are a little on the slim side GOD BLESS...

1953 goodness......

 

Cool book, Jim (thumbs u

 

Fab cover , nice copy Jim! I have never seen that cover before, or at least, no recollection of it.

 

...thanks guys. It's not a real common one. I had a 5.0 which is good enough for most of them, but this is one that I had always wanted in high grade.... never thought I'd find one, though. GOD BLESS...

Congrats on the contributor credit.

Thats a fact on the AIWW 22, 416 views and not one person has one they want to pass on...saddened, shocked, dismayed, but the hunt continues!

Great book, Jim! Congrats!!

Awesome cover (Burgos?).

That's the concensus..... and for a fella that started out as an Everett snob, I've really come to like many of Burgos covers. Spellbound 13 and Marvel Tales 113 are two others that I particularly like. GOD BLESS...

Burgos did a nice job on AiWW 16

I forgot about that one....GOD BLESS...

Yowza! And white pages to boot, no doubt!

I think I love Atlas yellow just as much as Atlas green!

I love Atlas..... period. Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Red.......I'd probably like a Fuschia one if there was such a thing..... GOD BLESS...

One of my favourite Atlas covers. Such an out-there cover that must've grabbed the attention on the newsstand.

Fuschia - that's a DC color, deemed oddly appropriate for war books in particular. What impresses me about the coloring on Atlas/early Marvel books, is the ability to make even murky brown backgrounds look cool, but the most striking Atlas bg color is probably sunburst orange ( a favorite on Westerns)

When Burgos was good he was great, but unfortunately I find the bulk of his covers uninteresting. On the plus side it just makes his more stellar achievements stand out more.

Color is one of the things that first drew me to Atlas. Many of the darker ones have very subtle interplay between several colors..... almost like the abalone found inside shells. Venus 19 is like this..... but I, Too, love the sunbursts. GOD BLESS...

Atlas also used pink for their war books like with Men's Adv 18 and 20 and Battle Action 8.

Those are more red with a band of pink though, and MA #20 can go straight from red to orange depending on the copy.

I'm going to post some books from the recently unearthed New Brunswick collection, just in time for Hallowe'en.

...fond memories of Menace 2..... I think it was the first Atlas PCH that I bought to keep.... so long ago I didn't even know all the titles to the Atlas horrors yet. Under rated cover IMHO ....... ATLAS Green GOD BLESS...

What a great group of books. It goes without saying that Bill Everett was one of the best and the cover to Menace 2 clearly illustrates this. But I am particularly fond of the cover to Mystic 28 by Joe Maneely!
