Back in the 1950s, during the "Cold War," every new day held the potential for the end of the world. Children grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters, receiving daily lessons at school on how to respond in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were constantly bombarded with reminders to secure their borders, keep a close eye on "foreigners" who could be spies, and remain vigilant in preparing to combat the "red" menace of communism. Comic books of this era capitalized on these fears, featuring stories of atomic war and world war III. This new historic reprint takes a retrospective look at those simpler times, offering a perspective that can be appreciated in the context of today's political climate.

This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! and World War III, allowing readers to enjoy them as thrilling action/adventure stories, classic war comics, or as eerie, unexpected commentary on contemporary challenges. It's important to note that if these rare books were purchased at your local comic shop, they would cost well over $1000 in low-grade condition.
