Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Go Power!" Collects Atomic City Comics (1994 Black Eye) #1-3. Story and art by Jay Stephens. Imagine a post-modern world where men can fly, the cartoonists who create them show up from time to time, and girls with extraordinary strength sell underarm deodorant, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what things are like in Atomic City. Particularly what it's like for Atomic City's newest super-being, the rough-and-tumble Big Bang. With rockabilly good looks and an overabundance of good-time attitude, Big Bang is pretty fresh to the hero game and to what appears to be unlimited powers. Joining him for his bizarre adventures are the certifiably crazy Quirk, righteously indignant Atomic Girl, and the powerfully attractive Z-Girl. Together, they run afoul of the city's worst criminal gang, run by the devilish, decapitated Doc Phantom. And, with all these newbies causing trouble on the streets, what will Atomic City's greatest hero, The Green Torpedo, have to say about it? It's a chaotic ride through the finest in underground cartooning. Softcover, 160 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.95.

By Whitney Matheson.

From the glory days of linoleum and wood paneling to innovations in dishwashers, ovens, and washing machines, ATOMIC HOME: A GUIDED TOUR OF THE AMERICAN DREAM remembers the fads, fashions, and inventions of the postwar American dream home. With the war over, soldiers returned home to an unprecedented time of prosperity; the family home, with its white picket fence, became the status quo. Suburbs boomed and keeping up with the Joneses became a way of life for wives and weekend home-improvement warriors. Brimming with vintage illustrated advertisements depicting the "latest" in furniture, bathroom designs, and much more, ATOMIC HOME offers cultural commentary and design inspirations for an era that defined the modern family dwelling.

WHITNEY MATHESON is a writer and columnist for USATODAY.com, where her pop-culture column, Pop Candy, appears each week. Her work has also appeared in Slate and USA Today, and on XM Radio. She lives with her husband in Washington, D.C.

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Based on the stories by Thomas Ligotti. Cover by Ashley Wood.

The terrifying world of acclaimed horror writer Thomas Ligotti brought frighteningly to life by a collection of today's most talented writers and illustrators.

In this book, three of Ligotti's most terrifying stories are adapted by three distinct writer/artist teams. In 'The Last Feast of the Harlequin,' writer Stuart Moore and artist Colleen Doran tell of an anthropologist's journey into a surreal winter carnival, where he witnesses an ancient rite of human sacrifice to grotesque worm-like creatures. Ben Templesmith's art accompanies Stuart Moore's adaptation of 'Dream of a Mannequin,' the story of a patient and psychiatrist bound together in a horrific dream. And in the final story, writer Joe Harris and artist Michael Gaydos team up to adapt a strange urban legend that robs artists of their desire to create art when they're confronted with horrible revelations.

Each story is more terrifying than the next, and the talent assembled here brings a new dimension to a legendary horror writer's most chilling work.

Hey, gang! This one'll go with a BANG... what with the impending end of Planet Earth in the news. Yessir! But this four-issue volume of Ace's Atomic War! comic doesn't focus on the gentle global warming path to oblivion we're all of us currently taking, but rather the big "Hoo Boy, here comes the End of Everything!" approach we all of us figured would be the way humankind would hand in its chips, namely with mushroom clouds aplenty, bombs the size of city blocks, and floods to make Noah's problem look like he left a faucet running in the bathroom.

You betcha by golly, this here's a gem of a book, comprising all four issues of Atomic War! (November 1952 to April 1953), plus the one-shot Captain Courageous from 1942 - all of 'em featuring stories and words from the likes of Ken Rice, Lou Cameron, Bill Molno, Jim McLaughlin, Chic Stone, Sol Brodsky, Harry Sahle, George Wilson and Lou Paige. Way to go, you warriors!

Stories and art by Dick Ayers and others. The indicia reads "Vol. 1 # 1," but this is actually the second series. Capturing the paranoia of the Cold War, this series portrayed a future where "atomic" weapons replaced conventional ones. A three-page musing on "Atom Age Combat" admits that a nuclear war would be a disaster, but suggests limited atomic exchanges are the future. During one such "limited" atomic war, each side wonders if the other is planning to escalate. A supercomputer (1950s style) narrates the tale of its own role in the Cold War.
