Atom Komix
I found Atom Komix at the awesome anarchist book shop Het Fort Van Sjakoo in Amsterdam. It was in a bin of cheap 1-2 euro books, clearly stuff that had been kicking around for ages and no one wanted. I’ve found some of the coolest stuff in bins just like this! At first I thought it was a comic produced by the German anti-nuclear movement, but it turns out it’s a translation of a comic originally produced in the U.S. in 1976 under the title All-Atomic Comics. The art is by Leonard Rifas, and is largely left untouched here, but all the text has been changed and translated to German, the publishing attributed to Widerstad (Resistance). Both English and German versions are in the collection at Interference Archive.
