ITEM # 0003A ATOMIC MOUSE - COLLECTION OF 50 COMICS

Created by writer-artist Al Fago, the funny-animal superhero Atomic Mouse debuted in Charlton Comics' Atomic Mouse #1 (cover-dated March 1953). The series ran 52 issues through cover-date February 1963, with the Grand Comics Database noting, "Overstreet has listed #53-54, but there is no evidence they actually exist." From 1961 to 1962, Charlton published an additional five issues, vol. 2, #11-16, containing reprinted material and used as promotional giveaways. Another reprint issue, Atomic Mouse vol. 3, #1 (Dec. 1984) followed, as did a three-issue fourth volume (#10-12, Sept. 1985 – January 1986). Writer Mike Curtis and penciler Charles Ettinger revamped the character in Shanda Fantasy Arts' SFA's Atomic Mouse, which ran for three issues published from 2001 to 2004. The same publisher issues the one-shot publication SFA's Atomic Mouse vs. Power Jack in 2009. Fago went on to create Atomic Rabbit (a.k.a. Atomic Bunny) and Atom the Cat.

ITEM # Beyond the Grave #1 – 17

Ghosts, witches, and demons dominate the pages of this series. Its stories are quite charming and usually ironic. For instance, a coven of witches and warlocks finds out that there is more to their sacrificial victim than they bargained for. A sickly old man finds the ideal place to die, and an overly curious writer discovers that a creepy castle is not abandoned after all. Though many of the tales may seem clichéd, the stories are always entertaining, classic, and in a horrifying sort of way, wholesome.

ITEM # Yang #1 – 17 (1973-1986)

Overview of "Yang" from Charlton Comics

"Yang" is a martial arts-themed comic series published by Charlton Comics in the 1970s, created by writer Joe Gill and artist Warren Sattler. The series emerged during the height of the 1970s martial arts craze, influenced by popular culture phenomena like the TV show Kung Fu and Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon

 Story and Main Character

The protagonist, whose real name is not Yang, adopts the name as a symbol of light, warmth, and righteousness. His journey begins with tragedy: after his father's assassination, Yang is forced to seek vengeance. He is soon captured and enslaved, sent to America to work on the railroads, and must use his martial arts skills to fight for justice and the oppressed. His adventures are marked by hardship, naiveté, and a relentless pursuit of justice, often falling victim to deception but always persevering

 Series Details

- **Setting:** The stories are set around the turn of the 20th century, blending martial arts action with Western and adventure elements

Themes and Style

"Yang" is emblematic of Charlton’s unique place in comics history-a publisher known for being different from the industry giants. The comic’s style is straightforward and action-packed, with simple, sometimes derivative storytelling. The art, while not always polished, captures the kinetic energy of martial arts and the drama of Yang’s journey

Legacy

While "Yang" was not a critical darling and is sometimes remembered for its naïve protagonist and basic plots, it holds a nostalgic place for fans of Charlton Comics and 1970s martial arts pop culture. The series lasted long enough to spawn a spin-off and has been collected and reprinted in recent years, attesting to its enduring cult appeal

 Notable Points

Martial Arts Craze "Yang" was a direct product of the 1970s fascination with martial arts, reflecting broader trends in comics and entertainment at the time

Cultural Representation:The series featured Asian protagonists and settings, rare for American comics of its era, though often filtered through Western perspectives.

Collectibility: Original issues and recent collected editions are sought after by fans of vintage comics and martial arts stories

In summary, "Yang" stands out as one of Charlton Comics’ memorable contributions, blending martial arts action with themes of justice and perseverance, and remains a unique artifact of its time
