> What If? Atlas Era Heroes/Horror/Fantasy Maps


WHAT IF: Atlas Heroes Vol. 7 featuring Spaceman

Map by Chris Leazer: reprints Space Squadron #1-5, Space Worlds #6, and Spaceman #1-6 (311? pages)

***NOTE FROM CLEAZER: Jet Dixon of the Space Squadron and Speed Carter, Spaceman were the main attempts by Atlas to introduce an outer space adventure comic into their line. Both titles only lasted 6 issues, but each of those issues was packed to the brim with amazing sci-fi adventure and artwork that was surely some of the best of the time.***
