Thanks for the kudos guys....fyi, I just posted a new graph showing early Disney Four Color data. I collect these books, so it is interesting to me. I will take requests if anyone wants to see a particular set of data. Smile

Great informative website! You are a Lyria mobster for sure... you belong here.... Thumbs Up

Me personally... I would love to see some analysis on something more obscure..... like maybe the Atlas books from the 70's or even trends for the most popular war titles....

Or even foreigns..... but you probably knew I was going to say that! Laughing

Though this would be almost impossible being that thier is really no comprehensive data set for these books.... not many CGC's at all either....

I wonder if someone has started to work on collecting this data yet?

So I took the suggestion and went off and looked at Atlas Seaboard books. Not a whole lot to talk about...but still interesting to stare at the data! check it out at http://www.sundrycollectibles.net/comics/.

I think this set will remain dead for another 20 years. Atlas screwed up the revival of these characters and guaranteed no one will care for a long time.

I like the books. Was first introduced to them in a big "History of Comics" coffee table book from about 1989-1990, in which the Atlas line was roundly mocked.

Still, it was the first time that a venture capitalist basically created a line from scratch and hired some of the best talent in the industry at above-market rates to launch the books. Very reminiscent to me not of Valiant, but of Ultraverse, which similarly took a top-talent approach.

The difference is that Atlas went beyond the superhero genre to include action books, sword & sorcery, romance, horror, etc.

A cool little time capsule from the 70s, and well worth adding a few to your collection, given that there are only 28 issues total, and by such talent as Neal Adams, Steve Ditko and Wally Wood.

Did Defiant last more than 28 issues? Dark Dominion was something like 10-12, right?
