I'd be happy to outline what we have.

Good day,y'all

I sell and/-or trade comics, including those. By the way, where are you
situated? I've traded and sold comics through the mail for decades, including to
the U.S. I am in Canada.
 
Where exactly are you?

Tex,
 
The New Heroes portfolio, by Neal Adams (I have a mint set) is far too large to
scan, and is very rare. It is larger than the Marvel Treasury Editions!
 
BUT: there is a copy of it on ebay RIGHT NOW! It only shows up on ebay about
once every four years or so. And, they're not asking a lot for it. So, if you
want it....go get it!
 
Best,
 
Phil

Actually,

There were two issues of Ms. Mystic at Pacific Comics, which preceded the
Continuity Ms. Mystic various series of her.

Her first comic book appearance, though, was in Pacific Comics' (Jack Kirby's)
Captain Victory # 1. She's on its' cover, too.

Previously to her first comic book appearance, Ms. Mystic's first appearance
ANYWHERE was in Neal Adams' large, oversized 'THE NEW HEROES' portfolio, which I
have also, in my collection.

Ms. Mystic appeared in various other Continuity titles, also.

There were Ms. Mystic comics from Windjammer comics, also. These were reprints.
Windjammer reprinted lots of Continuity titles.

Best,

Phil Latter

I remember Ms. Msytic from Pacific. I bought first issue. I think there only was
one a Pacific. I didn't follow continuity much. I did have at least one issue of
Megalith, I thought the premise was ok. Again, I didn't follow them much. Neal
Adams is a great artist.

I have heard of Continuity,

I sure didn't know that it was owned by Neal Adams. I remember seeing Ms. Mystic
comics in my lcs when I was about 11 years old, but I wasn't into female heroes
at all back then (sexist innit?). What were the stories like? Original?
Interesting? Did he write the stories as well as do the art? Did anyone of not
work at the company with him?

I know that the art had to have been amazing because...hey, it's Neal Adams.
Right? Sorry for all the questions, but this is great information. You guys are

Speaking of other dead comics universes, which some of you were, what do you
think of Continuity Comics, Neal Adams late company? I love those! I also liked
the Malibu Protectors series of titles. I'm still trying to get together a
complete Continuity collection. Got most of them. I've had all the Atlas comics

From what I've seen when the books were coming out and I was collecting (and
since, from what I've read), I'd say it was a combination of mismanagement and
lack of organization and wrong motives. Check out the articles on the Atlas
Archives website. I think that if done right, with a plan and for the right
reasons the company still could have competed with DC and Marvel. Though, their
sales may have ranged lower and more, I think they could have many a living.

Very cool website,

And quite and interesting read. Do you guys think that Atlas/Seaboard would have
fared better with new artists ad less titles? Was that really the problem?
Forgive me if the question seems silly, but I always though that the problem was
that they just couldn't compete with the Big 2.

I just skimmed through, but I didn't notice this cover.  I didn't win the

Happy Thanksgiving.  To add to Dale's question about finding/purchasing, I'm not
certain if he's looking to buy or sell, but I have mint-quality comics that I
tried including on my acct.  I've got other stuff, Dale, if you're interested. 
I'd be happy to outline what we have.

my address, in fact, is ivettepalacin@...

Good day,y'all

In the past, to answer your question, many of us have sold and traded old Atlas
Comics on this List/-Group. I myself completed my own mid 1970's Atlas
collection (comics AND magazines) right here on this group, with other members.
 
I STILL have doubles of a lot of the colour comics in high grade, for sale or
trade.
 
Best,
 
Phil Latter

Tex,
 
The New Heroes portfolio, by Neal Adams (I have a mint set) is far too large to
scan, and is very rare. It is larger than the Marvel Treasury Editions!
 
BUT: there is a copy of it on ebay RIGHT NOW! It only shows up on ebay about
once every four years or so. And, they're not asking a lot for it. So, if you
want it....go get it!

Actually,

There were two issues of Ms. Mystic at Pacific Comics, which preceded the
Continuity Ms. Mystic various series of her.

Her first comic book appearance, though, was in Pacific Comics' (Jack Kirby's)
Captain Victory # 1. She's on its' cover, too.

Previously to her first comic book appearance, Ms. Mystic's first appearance
ANYWHERE was in Neal Adams' large, oversized 'THE NEW HEROES' portfolio, which I
have also, in my collection.

Ms. Mystic appeared in various other Continuity titles, also.

There were Ms. Mystic comics from Windjammer comics, also. These were reprints.
Windjammer reprinted lots of Continuity titles.

Best,

Megalith, I thought the premise was ok. Again, I didn't follow them much. Neal

I have heard of Continuity,

I sure didn't know that it was owned by Neal Adams. I remember seeing Ms. Mystic
comics in my lcs when I was about 11 years old, but I wasn't into female heroes
at all back then (sexist innit?). What were the stories like? Original?
Interesting? Did he write the stories as well as do the art? Did anyone of not
work at the company with him?

I know that the art had to have been amazing because...hey, it's Neal Adams.
Right? Sorry for all the questions, but this is great information. You guys are

From what I've seen when the books were coming out and I was collecting (and
since, from what I've read), I'd say it was a combination of mismanagement and
lack of organization and wrong motives. Check out the articles on the Atlas
Archives website. I think that if done right, with a plan and for the right
reasons the company still could have competed with DC and Marvel. Though, their
sales may have ranged lower and more, I think they could have many a living.

And quite and interesting read. Do you guys think that Atlas/Seaboard would have
fared better with new artists ad less titles? Was that really the problem?
Forgive me if the question seems silly, but I always though that the problem was
that they just couldn't compete with the Big 2.

I'm new to this but I was interested in finding out if you only discuss the old
atlas books
or if anyone was buying or selling issues, I was lucky to find and purchase
various issues and was having a time finding anyone who may be able to help,
I've collected comics for a great while now some 40+ years. If you can provde
info I would be grateful, Thanks in advance.  On Wed, 11/25/09, Phil Latter

Tex,
 
The New Heroes portfolio, by Neal Adams (I have a mint set) is far too large to
scan, and is very rare. It is larger than the Marvel Treasury Editions!
 
BUT: there is a copy of it on ebay RIGHT NOW! It only shows up on ebay about
once every four years or so. And, they're not asking a lot for it. So, if you
want it....go get it!
 
Best,
 
Phil

Actually,

There were two issues of Ms. Mystic at Pacific Comics, which preceded the
Continuity Ms. Mystic various series of her.

Her first comic book appearance, though, was in Pacific Comics' (Jack Kirby's)
Captain Victory # 1. She's on its' cover, too.

Previously to her first comic book appearance, Ms. Mystic's first appearance
ANYWHERE was in Neal Adams' large, oversized 'THE NEW HEROES' portfolio, which I
have also, in my collection.

Ms. Mystic appeared in various other Continuity titles, also.

There were Ms. Mystic comics from Windjammer comics, also. These were reprints.
Windjammer reprinted lots of Continuity titles.

Best,

Phil Latter

I remember Ms. Msytic from Pacific. I bought first issue. I think there only was
one a Pacific. I didn't follow continuity much. I did have at least one issue of
Megalith, I thought the premise was ok. Again, I didn't follow them much. Neal
Adams is a great artist.

I have heard of Continuity,

I sure didn't know that it was owned by Neal Adams. I remember seeing Ms. Mystic
comics in my lcs when I was about 11 years old, but I wasn't into female heroes
at all back then (sexist innit?). What were the stories like? Original?
Interesting? Did he write the stories as well as do the art? Did anyone of not
work at the company with him?

I know that the art had to have been amazing because...hey, it's Neal Adams.
Right? Sorry for all the questions, but this is great information. You guys are
like a bank vault of knowledge!

Speaking of other dead comics universes, which some of you were, what do you
think of Continuity Comics, Neal Adams late company? I love those! I also liked
the Malibu Protectors series of titles. I'm still trying to get together a
complete Continuity collection. Got most of them. I've had all the Atlas comics
and mags for several years, now.

From what I've seen when the books were coming out and I was collecting (and
since, from what I've read), I'd say it was a combination of mismanagement and
lack of organization and wrong motives. Check out the articles on the Atlas
Archives website. I think that if done right, with a plan and for the right
reasons the company still could have competed with DC and Marvel. Though, their
sales may have ranged lower and more, I think they could have many a living.

Very cool website,

And quite and interesting read. Do you guys think that Atlas/Seaboard would have
fared better with new artists ad less titles? Was that really the problem?
Forgive me if the question seems silly, but I always though that the problem was
that they just couldn't compete with the Big 2.

Thank you Daniel.

   Now my curiosity is really piqued. Was there ever any anti-American comic
movement of any type? I mean, did Australian comics writers and artists ban
together to push and promote original Australian comics over the US reprints?
For every movement or trend there is usually a counter-movement or trend in the
course of time.

  1. I would love to hear about any power struggles, in-fighting, vendettas

But of course.  I'm not the ogre I'm made out to be...heh...as you well

The Atlas article is finished.  It's around 20 pages, has scans of Aussie
comics, a full breakdown and also some scans of the unpublished material for
you guys to salivate over.  I'll post it up by the end of the week, once
I've done an edit.

ANYWHERE was in Neal Adams' large, oversized 'THE NEW HEROES' portfolio, which I
have also, in my collection.

Ms. Mystic appeared in various other Continuity titles, also.

There were Ms. Mystic comics from Windjammer comics, also. These were reprints.
Windjammer reprinted lots of Continuity titles.

Best,

Phil Latter

I remember Ms. Msytic from Pacific. I bought first issue. I think there only was
one a Pacific. I didn't follow continuity much. I did have at least one issue of
Megalith, I thought the premise was ok. Again, I didn't follow them much. Neal
Adams is a great artist.

I have heard of Continuity,

I sure didn't know that it was owned by Neal Adams. I remember seeing Ms. Mystic
comics in my lcs when I was about 11 years old, but I wasn't into female heroes
at all back then (sexist innit?). What were the stories like? Original?
Interesting? Did he write the stories as well as do the art? Did anyone of not
work at the company with him?

I know that the art had to have been amazing because...hey, it's Neal Adams.
Right? Sorry for all the questions, but this is great information. You guys are
like a bank vault of knowledge!

Speaking of other dead comics universes, which some of you were, what do you
think of Continuity Comics, Neal Adams late company? I love those! I also liked
the Malibu Protectors series of titles. I'm still trying to get together a
complete Continuity collection. Got most of them. I've had all the Atlas comics
and mags for several years, now.

From what I've seen when the books were coming out and I was collecting (and
since, from what I've read), I'd say it was a combination of mismanagement and
lack of organization and wrong motives. Check out the articles on the Atlas
Archives website. I think that if done right, with a plan and for the right
reasons the company still could have competed with DC and Marvel. Though, their
sales may have ranged lower and more, I think they could have many a living.

Very cool website,

And quite and interesting read. Do you guys think that Atlas/Seaboard would have
fared better with new artists ad less titles? Was that really the problem?
Forgive me if the question seems silly, but I always though that the problem was
that they just couldn't compete with the Big 2.

Tex,
 
The New Heroes portfolio, by Neal Adams (I have a mint set) is far too large to
scan, and is very rare. It is larger than the Marvel Treasury Editions!
 
BUT: there is a copy of it on ebay RIGHT NOW! It only shows up on ebay about
once every four years or so. And, they're not asking a lot for it. So, if you
want it....go get it!

Actually,

There were two issues of Ms. Mystic at Pacific Comics, which preceded the
Continuity Ms. Mystic various series of her.

Her first comic book appearance, though, was in Pacific Comics' (Jack Kirby's)
Captain Victory # 1. She's on its' cover, too.

Previously to her first comic book appearance, Ms. Mystic's first appearance
ANYWHERE was in Neal Adams' large, oversized 'THE NEW HEROES' portfolio, which I
have also, in my collection.

Ms. Mystic appeared in various other Continuity titles, also.

There were Ms. Mystic comics from Windjammer comics, also. These were reprints.
Windjammer reprinted lots of Continuity titles.

I remember Ms. Msytic from Pacific. I bought first issue. I think there only was
one a Pacific. I didn't follow continuity much. I did have at least one issue of
Megalith, I thought the premise was ok. Again, I didn't follow them much. Neal
Adams is a great artist.

I have heard of Continuity,

I sure didn't know that it was owned by Neal Adams. I remember seeing Ms. Mystic
comics in my lcs when I was about 11 years old, but I wasn't into female heroes
at all back then (sexist innit?). What were the stories like? Original?
Interesting? Did he write the stories as well as do the art? Did anyone of not
work at the company with him?

I know that the art had to have been amazing because...hey, it's Neal Adams.
Right? Sorry for all the questions, but this is great information. You guys are

Speaking of other dead comics universes, which some of you were, what do you
think of Continuity Comics, Neal Adams late company? I love those! I also liked
the Malibu Protectors series of titles. I'm still trying to get together a
complete Continuity collection. Got most of them. I've had all the Atlas comics
and mags for several years, now.

From what I've seen when the books were coming out and I was collecting (and
since, from what I've read), I'd say it was a combination of mismanagement and
lack of organization and wrong motives. Check out the articles on the Atlas
Archives website. I think that if done right, with a plan and for the right
reasons the company still could have competed with DC and Marvel. Though, their
sales may have ranged lower and more, I think they could have many a living.

Very cool website,

And quite and interesting read. Do you guys think that Atlas/Seaboard would have
fared better with new artists ad less titles? Was that really the problem?
Forgive me if the question seems silly, but I always though that the problem was
that they just couldn't compete with the Big 2.

Great idea, Daniel!

Can't wait to see it!
 
I have an off-topic question for you, Daniel, since you are an Australian comics
collector and fan. I've been a lifetime lover of Zorro for over forty years, and
collector of same.
 
Were there ever any unique to Australia EG: written and illustrated there, not
reprints, of Zorro comic books or series, IN Australia? I'd further like to ask
if there were any Aussie unique to Australia, movies, TV shows, text novels,
etc,etc,etc.
 
I DO know that Australia bosts many unique to Australia Zorro action figures and
toys. I have some.
 
Thanks,
 
Phil

I am not a name of note, and Dial B is not my blog.

However I am in the process of now writing up the History Of Atlas In
Australia.  I formatted the comics and contents - 15 pages in total with
scans of all the comic covers, and am writing the text.  I'm 3,000 words in
and still going, so my thought is to write this up, make a PDF and make it
avalaible at my site, free of charge.

Thoughts?

Tex,

The New Heroes portfolio, by Neal Adams (I have a mint set) is far too large to
scan, and is very rare. It is larger than the Marvel Treasury Editions!

BUT: there is a copy of it on ebay RIGHT NOW! It only shows up on ebay about
once every four years or so. And, they're not asking a lot for it. So, if you
want it....go get it!

Monster X - two stories, both written by Gabe Levy, one drawn by Howard
Nostrand, the other by Walt Simonson.  Everyone knew about the Simonson
story, but the Nostrand seems to have popped up all on it's own.
Interestingly enough the Monster X story line was a trilogy, but I can only
account for parts 1 & 3 - am hoping to find part 2.  Plus the Bog Beast.
That's three stories verified, with a fourth as a possiblity.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

The links are foototes, sorry about that.  Ignore them.

I've done the main text and will be editing it tonight, so hopefully I can
whack together the PDF by the end of the week.  There's some juicy material
in there about Gredown and publishing in Australia in relation to Atlas,
plus scans of all the Gredown comics that reprinted Atlas and what stories
they contained, plus some details on the unpublished material and how it's
likely that Gredown got them.

Joining the dots!

Cheers

Daniel

Thanks Daniel,
 
But none of these links (below) are working for me. Are they working for anyone
else?
 
For each link clicked, a blurb pops up that says, 'unauthorized. Error 401.'
 
Best,
 
Phil

Hi Tex,

There were no shady, back room deals. All the rights were above board.
Newton Comics were about the only publisher who did shady deals...Gredown,
from all accounts, did their deals the right way. But keep firing down
questions and I'll address them in the article.

Still the main text is finished, along with the details on the THREE
unpublished Atlas stories that Gredown published... and if that doesn't whet
your appetite, then I don't know what will. I'll be editing and polishing
over the next few days and hopefully have it ready by the weekend.

Daniel

Daniel,
 
In advance of your article, can you tell us which three or four Atlas comics
stories were published in Australia, but not in the USA?
 
I know a Bog Beast story was one of them, which you shared, but, what were the
others?
 
Thanks!
 
Phil

Well, three that I've found so far.  Am now looking for a fourth, which
should be in a Gredown somewhere.

Hopefully the article I'm preparing will be of use to a lot of people, and
help answer a lot of Atlas in Australia questions.

Cheers

Daniel
