Loved the comic and the cover when i was about 12.
I picked it up randomly in my quest to buy any comics that existed.
I already had Conan on the go and this comic was good enough to make me want more.

Nice pick and well done on straying off the NU.

I loved Iron Jaw when it was coming out, and Atlas (Seaboard) in general. This makes me want to go back and read a few to see if I still dig 'em.

I finally picked up one of the Devilina mags.
only taken me 20+ years.

Who published those, Draco?

Atlas, one of the annoying mags they published that you never see this side of the world, granted i may have even had them at one point and not realised they were Atlas, but certainly not in the last 15 years.

I didn't realize that was Atlas. Maybe I forgot. lol
I was picking up Atlas when I was a kid off the racks at convenience markets. They had spotty distribution.

Dogs Of War.

Here are my favorites:

Marvel Transformers #5

and

Marvel Transformers #12

Now I know someone is probably thinking but Transformers is not a dead universe because IDW is publishing new Transformers with the same looking characters in comics and while that is true, IDW's Transformers: G1 Universe is NOT connected too or even the same universe as Marvel's series, there has been no new official material based on Marvel's Transformers comics since Transformers: Generation 2 #12 which was pretty much the end of the Marvel Transformers and G.I. Joe Universe.

So I consider the Marvel US and UK Transformers and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (aka Action Force in the UK) a Dead Universe.

Always loved the TF # 5 cover, although i have never been a fan of the TF.
Painted covers of that quality were very random of those times for Marvel.

A little known Uk publisher Called AP ( not Antarctic Press, Autumn Press) from a few years back.

Love the guys style.
He did Lions Tigers & Bears for Image after this i think.

Nice sub title

:

Regular Cover .

I was getting Dogs of War and all the Defiant stuff anyway as it came out, but I'm particularly fond of that because I became friends with the writer, Art Holcomb, as I was breaking in.

Georges Jeanty, the artist, has gone on to a ton of big stuff, including Buffy.

This is another great choice. I picked up about 10 books shy of a complete Atlas set over the summer. Finishing it will be one of my projects for the new year.

I really need to start pursuing a set of Atlas myself.

This is a rich topic and I can think of dozens of posts, but here's one...

That is sweet. For some reason, I've never seen this.

It certiantly is better than the painted cover #1 which is borders on the stupid looking. Shockwave (the character on #5) is one of those characters when drawn right, he downright scary, when drawn wrong he looks stupid beyond reason.

Some of the material is pretty bad, but there are some great flashes. Thrilling Adventure Stories #2 may be the single best B&W magazine ever. Under a Neal Adams cover, Goodwin & Simonson (immediately post-Manhunter), Russ Heath, John Severin, Alex Toth and even Jack Sparling.

Chaykin's two issues of The Scorpion, Larry Hama on Wulf, Iron Jaw, and the team of Archie Goodwin, Steve Ditko and Wally Wood on The Destructor...

Planet of Vampires is at the very least a good set-up (with two pretty cool Pat Broderick-Neal Adams covers).
