Show Us Your Atlas Books - Have A Cigar

Haven't posted a post code Atlas in a while, this is one of my favorites:

Very nice!

Keeping with that post code SciFi theme, here's a recent addition that fits!

The Everett cover and interior story were great, but I really liked the last story "The Hypnotist!" by Bernie Krigstein the best.

Nice companion book to Mystery Tales 40 (which I've noticed has come down a lot in price recently)

Cross-posting this one from over in pulps, since it's the only pulp (well, digest) I've ever seen with an Atlas globe on it:

I guess technically out of the golden age category, but close enough and its an atlas. I love this cover, which unfortunately has absolutely nothing to do with the story inside, which is just about a frozen caveman not an ice monster.

..I love this issue.... got a Williamson in it.... GOD BLESS...

I should have known you would have other pulps with the Atlas globe, Pat!

I do find the various fringe uses of the Atlas globe fascinating...

I had that book and sold it...Stories were lame, as they were with so many post code issues.

That's where you and I differ.... the shift to fantasy didn't bother me that much.... but it certainly isn't the PCH chillers from a few years prior. GOD BLESS...

Contents aside, the cover and colors are really cool.

Question for you Atlas guys. I'm going to see Russ Heath in a few weeks. What horror books would be good candidates? I would prefer one he did the cover as well as a good interior story. I would want him to sign inside. Any suggestions?

RM,

for that combo, your choices are actually fairly limited. I could only find the following books for which Russ did both cover & interior for the Horror books:

JiUW 36 a.k.a. # 1 for which he drew 3 interior stories so that would be great choice but it's not really horror

AiTerror 43 a.k.a. # 1

Marvel Tales 104

Astonishing 8

Suspense 14

Strange Tales 6

Spellbound 4

Mystery Tales 3

Mystic 10

Marvel Tales 110

Spellbound 12

JiM 11

Spellbound 16

I like the splash to the story in Spellbound # 2 https://www.atlastales.com/story/6812 but he didn't do the cover. At any rate, you only have 12 books to pull to narrow down your choice. Have fun! :thumbsup:

If it were me, it would be no choice at all...... Marvel Tales 104 without hesitation. GOD BLESS...

Well, let's qualify this, I am looking over the credits on this one @ AtlasTales and can't make sense of it on that first story ... so, maybe not a choice.

..... I think I might also bring an Atlas war book..... there should be several to choose from. GOD BLESS...

My favorite Heath horror cover would be the spellbound with tentacled aliens coming up out of the graveyard to menace our hero and "healthy" gal (as only Russ could draw them!)

A close second might be a later issue of astonishing where a skeletal fellow has dug a grave on a construction site, with his victim plummeting to earth - "I died too often!"

But I'm not sure what Heath art, if any, lies inside these.

Agreed. I love this issue and cover as well

Along with your horror, I would also bring a war comic ... 2 of my favorites, Men's Adventures #20 or War #11 (which almost counts as a horror with that flamethrower cover).

Can't argue with Spellbound 20, best hooters on any Atlas, AFAIAC. No interior work by Heath, however.
