 The Atomic Revolution Comic Book. This is the title of a 1957 comic book which is all about the Atom from a 57's standpoint of view."Discussing this comic: Beyond it's novelty value, this is really a (forgive the pun) dynamite piece of art. One is immediately struck by the bold and realistic linework, the page compositions (both full-bleed and off-center, as well as numerous two-page spreads, 'BUILDUP' and 'PROPULSION' are amazing) and check out the use of multiple spot color and classy 50s-era package design. All that and just the creepy idea of an atomic weapons company commissioning a comic book about their horrifying products makes this a damn strange and unusual thing." Via JWalk.
