*War: While not the first war-themed comic, the unimaginatively (but accurately) titled War Comics was the first Atlas series to embrace the battle genre. Launched in 1950, it ran on a steady schedule until issue #49 in 1957, with the violence barely dimming after the introduction of the Comics Code Authority, which hit this series from #33. This pioneering title, which launched dozens of sibling titles from the company who would become Marvel, featured an illustrious roster of artists: Kubert, Krigstein, Everett, Torres, Romita, Crandall, Drucker, Heath, Orlando, Robinson, Sale, Shores, Sinnott and Severin – the latter performing, among his many other gigs on the series, a rather cheeky EC swipe, in War #43, of a story from Two-Fisted Tales #31! War Comics is newly stocked from the first issue to the final, lacking only number #11 from the complete run. Illustrated are #2 FN £56, #13 FN+ £55 and the penultimate #48 FN+ £50, but as with all the long-running series in our Atlas influx, there are many different grades and prices to be found in our online catalogue.
