ARTICLES RELATED TO Atlas Comics 1950s - Atlas or Marvel? | | | |  Atlas Comics 1950s - Atlas or Marvel?: Encyclopedia II - Atlas Comics 1950s - Atlas or Marvel?The exact point at which "Atlas" began to be considered "Marvel" has never been definitively established. Goodman had begun moving away from newsstand distributor Kable News by branding his comics with the Atlas globe on issues cover-dated Nov. 1951, even though Kable's "K" logo and North American map symbol remained through the Aug. 1952 issues. Goodman shut down his self-distributorship on Nov. 1, 1956, and began newsstand distrbution through American News Service. The Atlas globe remained, however, through the Oct. 1957 issues, when Ameri ...

| | | | Atlas Comics 1950s - Atlas or Marvel?: Encyclopedia II - Atlas Comics 1950s - Return of Jack Kirby Goodman's men's magazines and paperback books were still successful — the comics, except in the early Golden Age, were a relatively small part of the business — and Goodman considered shutting the division down.
The details of his decision not to do so are murky. Jack Kirby, who after his amicable split with creative partner Joe Simon a few years earlier was not been as busy as he would have liked, recalled in a 1990 interview for ...

Until the early 1960s, when editor-in-chief and head writer Stan Lee would help revolutionize comic books with the advent of The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, Atlas was content to flood newsstands with profitable, cheaply produced product — often, despite itself, beaut ...

If newspapers had Dennis the Menace, Atlas had the Joe Maneely-drawn Melvin the Monster. TV had Sgt. Bilko? Atlas had the lovably conniving Sergeant Barkey Barker — drawn by John Severin, one of comics' top war artists, no less.

The post-war era, however, found superheroes falling out of fashion. Television and paperback books now also competed for readers and leisure time.
The line marking the end of the Golden Age is vague, but for Timely, at least, it appears to have ended with the cancelation of Captain America Comics at issue #75 (Feb. 1950) †...
