I'm not a comic book reader, but this comic is actually quite interesting
it seems like back than they can stick "atomic" on anything
atomic bullets, atomic hand grenades, etc

I just want the Trace-O-Matic on page two.

10 day free trial! Woot! Wonder if they send the model in the one-piece bathing suit as well?

bathing suit is an extra option.

Yeah, it is kinda funny how the header says "Only a Strong America can stop Atomic War", while there is rampant nuking in every issue. Maybe that partly explains why Ace Comics went outta business in 1956.

Great find! I love those 50s comics! Especially the horror comics from this decade were never seconded. They somehow have such a unique spirit, a strange mixture of naive belief in technological advances and disappointment in humanity, caused by the slaughter a decade before.

If you don't know it, check out the film "The Atomic Cafe" - it catches a little of this athmosphere, a kind of dramedy documentation.

Also thanks to Betonov for the links to the other stories!

Gonna abuse my company's printer a little today!
