The third and final issue features the inimitable Steve Ditko's pencils and Bernie Wrightson's inks, which only add to the strip's paranoid intensity.R. W.

I wonder if the human psyche could survive a TPB packed with such a string of anti-social, murderous and cannibalistic heroes.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-62430495017358195632012-07-25T06:01:08.542+01:002012-07-25T06:01:08.542+01:00I've always had a curiosity about Atlas.

But a hero who devours blind women? <br /><br />Eventually, Marvel and DC would up the ante with comics like 'The Dark Knight Returns'; but they'd do it right. <br /><br />Has the Atlas stuff ever been collected? I don't think it lasted very long.Boston Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-9439264236725584192012-07-24T21:52:26.675+01:002012-07-24T21:52:26.675+01:00Been re-reading a lot of Atlas lately, and I'd...Been re-reading a lot of Atlas lately, and I'd forgotten quite how all-out weird they were.<br />I mean, 'The Tarantula'? I remember even as a kid thinking, why would I wanna read something as ugly as that?<br />It all feels like someone should've taken Fleisher to one side and asked him if he was having any problems at home.<br /><br />I always thought The Destructor, Tiger-Man, The Grim Ghost and maybe Wulf could've had futures, but Moorlock? <br />Nah, maybe as a serial in a Warren mag, but not in a colour book. I'm not even sure it's what you'd call a good comic at all, but it sure does stick in the memory!pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-68703155902182986182012-07-24T21:06:24.546+01:002012-07-24T21:06:24.546+01:0070s comics fielded a lot of ambiguous heroes: suic...70s comics fielded a lot of ambiguous heroes: suicidal paranoid Warlock; thief, pirate and mercenary Conan; computerised corpse Deathlok; existential narcissist Kull; and the daughters of the Devil and Dracula. But a plant man who eats little blind girls isn't going to win our sympathy. Even if they played the Lonely Man Theme every time he chomped on a moppet.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.com
