Tales of the Implosion Re-issued!Before Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, the comic books published by Martin Goodman and edited by Stan Lee featured Devil-Dog Dugan and Battleship Burke, Kent Blake of the Secret Service and Jann of the Jungle, Sherry the Showgirl and Homer the Happy Ghost, and many more. What transformed "Atlas", a comics line with scores of titles in all genres, into the superhero-centric "Marvel"? All the answers are found in the privately published book, Tales of the Implosion: A History of the 1957 Atlas Implosion, a revised and expanded version of the article, "Atlas shrugged. A detailed look at the 1957 'Atlas Implosion' and its effect on comics," which appeared in Alter Ego (vol. 3) 49: 45-67 (Jun 2005). Originally published in 2005, the book is now re-issued and available once again at the original price, $12 postpaid to any USA or Canada mailing address. To order, write to: |

| Lack of Indexing Updates There has been a lack of updates lately. I have several new projects and they all require me to learn new stuff to complete them. So, my time has been stretched to the max. I have finally turned the corner on several of them and am ready to get back to Atlas Tales and catch back up on what needs to be done. I will reveal the new projects soon! Thanks, GREG. |

| Issues Not Indexed List Was finally able to put together the Issues Not Indexed List. It is rather large ...still... but at least it small enough to be manageable. I'll concentrate on knocking out as many as I can - as fast as I can. |

| New Features. A GCD style quick search has been added to the home page. There have been a few requests for this and it makes it easier to go directly to a title that you want to see (a problem for quite a while). Also, added a partial list of cover scans that need to be replaced - this will continue to grow (and then hopefully shrink) as more scans are identified. |

| New reprint section and more! As you can tell by the update links in the left column, I am adding a reprint section. It has been a ton of work so far - I should have the structure up by the end of the week - then comes the data entry. I have most of the Marvel reprints and will begin entering that info immediately upon completion of the database and design work. Also, I am revamping the creator section - it has been neglected for way too long. Most of the changes are done already - just some final tweaking needed. I also am adding a characters and article section. Both of those are started - but far from completed. Let's hope I can get those done before the next big (paying) project drags me away. |
