Atom-Age Combat 01, June 1952, St. John Publications, c2c. This was the first book from the original 1952 series. The whole series is now all up on the site, including the 1959 One-Shot from St. John's and the two Fago issues that followed it. I would hope you enjoy this series as much as I did. This issue was scanned and edited from my own personal collection. |

An absolutely perfect scan of a beautiful pristine copy of the book. Thanks so much for uploading, Geo! If there is any justice in this world, someday both series of ATOM-AGE COMBAT will be collected in book form in a complete edition. In my mind, ATOM-AGE COMBAT and the two Ace titles, WORLD WAR III and ATOMIC WAR! are the most key of all the "Atomic Age" comics titles. |
