    I wonder if Ernie Colon is available to work on Grim Ghost again? Haven’t seen his work since the 9/11 G/N.

    I am behind this all the way. Atlas had some amazing potential, but it was just the wrong time in the comics industry. If Goodman had waited until the 79-82 range, when Eclipse had carved out a niche and other independents were popping up, Atlas probably would have thrived.

    Parts of the above press release are untrue. Reason why Atlas comics failed were too many titles at once which caused the major wholesaler distributors to not place Atlas comics out on the racks. The LA county distributor was a main culprit in Calif. I know this cuz I owned comic book stores in the Bay Area. We dealt with Gilboy in Oakland and Golden Gate in SF. LA store owners were contacting us to get copies to sell, they could not get them.If Goodman had intro’d his line slower, it would have thrived

    If they’d been smart enough to keep the comics consistent and build readership before they started changing them, they’d have been a lot better off; i bought the first issues of a couple (The Scorpion, for instance) and then dropped them like hot potatoes when they screwed them up.

    In my case,Atlas sounded great back then, but never made it into town. (Yes, we had comics sold in town back then. Just not now.) Presumably the distributors did not want to deliver them. Yes, there were too many of them, and all at once (I think).They were like the 25 cent double sized comics from Marvel 1967-68. Never made it to town, but the unattainability made them seem the more magical.But I won’t believe this is a big deal until they get a firm grounding.
