Atomic Man Complete Collection by FraBig

First 4 stories by Charles Voight, whose semi-comic style I always enjoyed.

The others are by Gil Kane [as Bekay] (signed), who swapped out Atomic Man's skirt for a Speedo.

These are from Headline Comics (Prize, 1946).

Atomic-Man is an American fictional superhero created by Charles Voight who appeared in Headline Comics from issue #16 (Nov/Dec 1945) to #21 (Sept/Oct 1946) which were published by Prize Comics. He is often credited for being the first atomic superhero.

Dr. Adam Mann is experimenting with uranium-235 in the aftermath of the first Atomic Bomb being used in Hiroshima. During the experiment he finds himself being subjected to a strange side effect which changes his body. He finds that he has been changed into a new type of being, a being who was not only immune to most lethal radiations but was also immune to electricity,

flame and even bullets.

In addition to the change in his body he also found he now possessed many different powers. These superpowers of his included the ability to see radiations which were previously invisible to normal humans. His right also now also emitted a large amount of Gamma radiation which allowed him to perform a number of superhuman deeds like punching through brick walls using energy blasts and controlling the minds of other people.

When not using his powers he wore a lead glove in his hand to curtail the powers of radiation so as not to harm others.

Knowing that the element that had given him his powers could and would be used by others for evil he took the identity of Atomic - Man and dedicated himself to fighting those who might who would try to pervert it’s use, along with any other criminals, mad scientists or communists who fell under the glow of his right hand.

The Firefly Complete Collection by FraBig

Here's the complete collection of every appearance of The Firefly, a character published

by MLJ Comics. This collection contains: Top-Notch Comics (1939) #8-#27-

151 Pages

Firefly is a fictional comic book character created by Harry Shorten and

Bob Wood for MLJ Comics in 1940. He first appeared in Top-Notch Comics #8.

Artist Warren King and writer Joe Blair loaned their talents to many

of the Firefly's installments.

The Firefly was the fourth superhero launched by MLJ in the eighth issue of their title Top-Notch Comics. He was a mainstay in Top-Notch Comics until its 28th issue, when MLJ changed its format from a superhero book to a humor book.

The popularity of superheroes waned in the late 1940s. The Firefly has had very few appearances since, although when he did briefly reappear during the sixties in The Mighty Crusaders #4 he had gained the ability to glow brightly like his namesake. As part of the team the character reappeared in the 2000s Archie's Weird Mysteries #3 and 14 and

Tales From Riverdale Digest #27.
