I tried my hand at comic book making, sort of..I picked up this neat program for making your own comic books. I tried to attach the panel here but it didnt...
Hey thanks jim I appreciate that. i figured it was comic related and topical and we needed a post or two here befroe the spammers started up again. jeff ... ...
It's called Comic book Creator. There is a link for it on my weblog. Jeff ... "You don't get to call yourself an "Old school gamer" unless you've played D&D...
Well, one may be evil to spammers - they deserve it. I'm on a Norse site and they send spammers to Spamheim or Spamhel - pity it's just a metaphor. All the...

I might have to go get that program. Looks like fun. ... Chris http://bugbearsdad.blogspot.com/ "Ladies and gentlemen, reports from headquarters confirm that...
Sorry you folks had to put up with that nonsense. We oust new members like that, as soon as we can and delete their posts. What is really curious is that, in...
I'm Allen Smith, I subscribe to well over 100 lists, most of them devoted to comics. I also belong to the Timely-Atlas list, oddly enough, I have no Atlas...

One thing I'm curious about is why the Atlas heroes have never resurfaced at another company. DC bought the Charlton heroes, and got the rights to reprint the...
The reason is that the Goodman family is asking for an unreasonable King's Ransom $$$$$$ to either lease or buy the characters. Best, Phil Latter Allen Smith...
By the way, Phil, I heard about this group when you posted something in an email about banning a spammer from your Atlas list. Until then, I had no idea that...
*from what i understand Allen (and i am by no means an authority-just a guy with fond memories), the Atlas characters are still owned by a descendant of the...
Hi Allen, Welcome aboard. It's good to have you with us-! I should mention, by the way, that this Atlas Comics board is not my group. I'm just one of the...
To me, Atlas Comics represented a wasted opportunity. Goodman put out too many books, in a slapdash manner. Now, I know that this was in part because he...
I've heard things to that effect, that Marvel and DC put out tons of books, including reprints, in an effort to dominate shelf space. Which is what you would...
They did. I was avidly collecting at that time (still am), and Marvel, in addition to all their regular monthly and bimonthly (mostly monthly) new story...
It was more like wanting to get back at a fomer publishing house by stealing their ideas and pushing away the more original ones. Sanford S. Williams...
I'd say that the motive of revenge probably affected Martin Goodman's judgement, and caused him to try for too much, too soon. There was no way he was going...
Absolutely I agree. And of course: without Superman, there would likely have been no Timely, later Atlas, later Marvel. Best, Phil Latter Allen Smith...
Hi guys, I've got a run of Destructor (#'s 1-4) posted on eBay right now. I've got a bunch of other issues from other series around to get rid of too, and...
When Atlas was established in June of '74, the plan was to publish two black-and-white titles edited by Larry and five color comics edited by me. We were going...
Thank you for the info, Jeff. Now, if Goodman had just been able to slowly build the company, the direct market might have saved him, years later. Allen Smith...
very interesting reading - I had no Idea about alot of them. Thanks. Jeff ... From: Jeff Mejia <boojiesdad@...> Date: Friday, March 17, 2006 2:40 pm ...
