*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Concluding the non-genre section of our Atlas Explosion Event, we have a variety of adventure titles from the 1940s and 1950s: Crimefighters launched in 1948 and was relaunched in 1954 as Crime Fighters (clearly a completely new idea); we have issue #2 of the first series and the complete three-issue run of the second series (numbered #11 to #13, to save on Postal Licencing fees) new in. Men’s Adventures was another general-purpose adventure series which later mutated into war and later still horror, but this early issue, #5 (second issue of the series, see above) features one of the first sci-fi/’flying saucer’ stories. Spy Thrillers ran four issues from 1954 to 1955, tapping into the cold war zeitgeist; we have almost the run, lacking only #3, new in. And the Big One for this entry is Man Comics, devoted to all things butch and hairy-chested, with tales of heroic lumberjacks, firefighters, cops, detectives, sportsmen and… child-beating thugs. Oh, well, they count as men too, I guess. Man Comics was another chameleoid title, turning entirely to war with issues #9 to #25, which can be found, you’ll have guessed, in our war section. Here we have the entire run of non-war issues (though #3 is a damaged copy, free with issue #4), including the post-war trio of #26 to #28, which feature ‘Bob Brant and his Trouble-Shooters’, in a blatant rip-off the ‘Wise Guys’ from Gleason’s Daredevil series. Pictured are Crime Fighters #12 VG+ £24, Man Comics 1 GD- £25, Men’s Adventures 5 VG/FN £49 and Spy Thrillers #1 VG £40.
