Atom Bomb and Other Stories Kindle & comiXology

This volume also includes two stories that Wood illustrated for Blazing Combat.I am curling up with this book tonight.

A great 50's- 60's volume done by a great writer and artist! Thanks!

Unfamiliar with this art, I bought it for my spouse’s birthday. He enjoyed it and said it was a good collection. I’d recommend it based on the fact my husband has a large collection of books similar to this art and on same subjects so if he said it was great I’m sure it is. However, I expected a NEW book to arrive without the binding turn along outside and inside of front cover. Couldn’t return because I needed it today.

woops, made a mistake, this is a review of spawn of mars. i ordered both atom and spawn of mars. just started atom and am enjoyed it very much.i enjoy the graphics of both books, atom and spawn of mars. the stories are also quite amusing at times and have social commentary overtones. i'm about 3/4 of the way through. one or two stories a day to enjoy it, its too much fun to rush through cover to cover.there's one funny story, reminded me of a movie by doris wishman, nude on the moon. the comic is called the maidens cried, about a planet of butterfly women. i won't spoil the story. fantasy of beautiful women, but also fear... beautiful women/danger... interesting how the comic, on one level, could be an exploration of the psyche, for those with courage to have a look and see what's there.interesting stories, relevant to the ecological situation today. for example, there are stories of people deciding to flee planet earth, because things have gone from bad to worse. they blast off into outer space, in search of another planet where they can start all over again. often they encounter monsters, which struck me as mental projections. in some stories, astronauts head off into space and meet the demons lurking in their minds.

I bought this because I heard that Kurtzman in his writing did a lot of writing from the point of view of the individual and not glorifying the military action per se.I can tell you that is EXACTLY what Kurtzman did.Add that to Wallace Wood Art and you have a solid gold winner.
