The essays range from an analysis of popular science at the time of the first X-Men comic book in 1963 to an interpretation of a storyline in light of rhetoric of President Obama's first presidential campaign.

Written by Harvey Kurtzman, Jerry De Fuccio, Carl Wessler, Wallace Wood, and Archie Goodwin. Art and cover by Wally Wood.

When Wallace Wood teamed up with Harvey Kurtzman, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Wood and Kurtzman delivered deeply human tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea. Wood and Kurtzman depicted the madness and horror of war, including the controversial title story which depicted the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims on the ground.

Atom Bomb and Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and Kurtzman did together for EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, plus other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor Al Feldstein as well.

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.
