American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Battle Brady – 1950s Combat Hero
*War: Making his debut in Battle Action #5, Battle Brady (real name unrevealed, unless his parents had a really weird sense of humour) was a Texas native who eschewed US issue weapons in favour of his family’s heirloom six-shooters, and frequently charged into combat against the Koreans shouting ‘Remember the Alamo!’ The slender concept of this Hank Chapman/Joe Maneely co-creation proved surprisingly popular, and Battle popped up all over the many war titles that Atlas produced. Eventually he took over the Men In Action anthology with #10 to gain his own title, issue #11 of which was used in the notorious pro-censorship book Parade of Pleasure. We have several Battle Brady’s new in stock, from #10 (1st issue of series, VG £39, pictured) on, replete with the violence and xenophobia for which the Atlas war line is renowned. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
