Join us on Tuesday, November 2 at 3pm Eastern for the next episode of the US Townhall RealStories Internet Radio show. Our guest will be Jason Goodman, the grandson of Martin Goodman, founder of Marvel Comics.
In the 1970s, Martin Goodman founded a second comics company, Atlas Comics that published a wide variety of titles during its short one-year existence in 1975. Titles included Destructor, Tiger-Man, Phoenix, Iron Jaw, and Grim Ghost and were written and drawn by some of the top talent working in comics at the time. Although extremely short-lived, Atlas Comics has inspired somewhat of a cult following over the decades with various websites devoted to keeping the characters alive.
Recently, Jason Goodman announced that he will be bringing these characters back into print for the first time in about 35 years. He has so far announced three titles: Grim Ghost, Phoenix, and, most recently, Wulf the Barbarian, which will be written by horror comics scribe, Steve Niles.
