*Miscellaneous 1940-1959:  This week’s entry in our Atomic Sci-Fi event qualifies just about by means of its title and cover, though the content is more general adventure. One of the plethora of anthologies put out post-war by publishers hoping to snag readers from the then-dwindling superhero market, Atomic Comics might have languished in obscurity but for the fact that several of its features – including crimebuster ‘Inspector Dayton’ and plucky aviatrix ‘Lucky Wings’ – featured art from Matt Baker, the definitive ‘Good Girl Artist’ remembered these days for his outstanding work on Phantom Lady. Pilot ‘Pop Powers’ and loinclothed do-gooder ‘Congo King’ – unusually, a non-Caucasian entry in the Jungle Lord sweepstakes – also show some trace of Baker involvement, but either they were rush jobs or he was heavily collaborated over. Nevertheless, an intriguing mixed bag from one of the greats of the Golden Age, with a gloriously pulpy (non-Baker) cover promising unleashed horrors from ‘The Manhattan Project’. This is remarkably well-preserved for a Golden Age item – FN+ – only minor cover wear at corners, but unimpaired cover image with vivid colour. Firm staples, cream interior pages with no trace of brittleness or browning. One small pence price (“1/-“) has been very carefully handwritten beneath the printed American price, but otherwise it’s utterly unblemished. On sale at £185. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
