Thanks for the link, Mikael. Yeah, I don't see much point in changing Phoenix's costume. He's already been through two costumes in the original series. It's not like he has a long and storied history... at this point, there isn't much to him besides the concept and the costume, so why get rid of one.

Not a fan of the new Phoenix suit either... maybe it's because the alien writings that wrap across its surface actually flow across his armpit...

I have a few of these. I actually enjoyed Tiger-Man, the Destructor,
the Scorpion and the Grim Ghost. Never read PLANET OF
VAMPIRES but thought it sounded like a cool idea.I wonder what took so long...

I do have a complete set of all of the Atlas titles; albeit there were not that many comics. Steve,Do you have the magazines also? I've read they are quite hard to come by.

Paul- I should have made clear that I have a complete run of their color comics. Now, the magazine line is a whole diffrent story. I have both issues of "Weird Tales of the Macabre" and both issues of "Devilina." I do not have any issues of "Thrilling Adventure Stories" and one issue of "Movie Monsters" and as for "Gothic Romances"...yeah right! I have only seen one copy of that in 20-25 years and the price the dealer was asking was far way too much I wanted to pay for a Romance comic. I have a feeling a comic like "Gothic Romances" is one of those books that I will find one day at a flea market or garage sale for some like a $1.00.

PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES wasn't very vampiric, or very good. In the world of funny books, having a title promising "vampires" and then making that designation more emblematic than specific, and you have wasted an opportunity. I want to see the return of POLICE ACTION with Lomax NYPD and Luke Malone: Manhunter. Also the Tarantula could be intriguing if you thought of him as a fusion of Hellboy and the Shadow.

As a kid, the second issue of Morlock 2001 disturbed me greatly, from the Clockwork Orange style thugs to the creeping fungus and the death of the little girl, that was a deeply unpleasant comic. Makes me vaguely ill recalling it. Finding out that it was a Michael Fleischer script would not surprise me. I found other Atlas books later, Chaykin's Scorpion being my favorite. My favorite Atlas cover is this one, however. Phoenix vs. Cyclops: The Untold Story!

The only Atlas book I read at the time was Grim Ghost. I loved that series, and I still consider it one their best books. Really fine artwork by Ernie Colon. I remember paging through other titles on the stands but when the time came to select what book I was going to buy I always went with something else.
In the years since I've bought up almost everything they did. The Destructor was very well-done. And I'm with Chad, Police Action is one of my favorites.
That Morlock 2001 story was messed up. I'm sure glad I didn't read it when I was eight. Fleisher has written a great deal of morally ambigous and disturbing stories over the years, but I'd say that one was the single most disturbing thing he ever wrote.
