The threat of nuclear war was a constant concern on many people's minds beginning in the early 1950's and
the comic book industry was quick to exploit those fears. ATOMIC BATTLES GIANT compiles five complete
series focusing on the threat of nuclear weapons. Whether the danger is on the battlefield, the home front or even in outer space ATOMIC BATTLES GIANT has gripping tales of nuclear weapons and their fallout.
Four comic book companies over the course of a few years would produce five separate titles centered around the potential uses of fissionable weapons. Ace Magazines would publish four issues of the series ATOMIC WAR starting in November of 1952. Youthful Magazines, Inc. published four issues of ATOMIC ATTACK between January and October of 1953. St. John Publishing produced five issues of ATOM-AGE COMBAT from June 1952 to April 1953. Starting in January of 1959 Fago Publications released two issues of their own ATOM-AGE COMBAT comic. WORLD WAR III was a two issue comic published by Ace Magazines, the first issue published March of 1952 and the second in May of 1953.
Some of the amazing artists in ATOMIC BATTLES GIANT include Ken Rice, Lou Cameron, Bill Molno, Jim Mc
Laughlin, Chic Stone, Vince Napoli, Harry Harrison, Vic Carrabotta, Ralph Mayo, and Dick Ayers.
