Yea! Somebody gets it. And explained it clearer than I did to boot.

Gawd, I'd hate to be the one responsible for puting the skates on the horses. Let alone trying to keep the ice clean --wouldn't they need an entirely new kind of Zamboni?

The fact that kids were unfamiliar with the old Timely Superheroes has nothing to do with covers being "too dark."


We're looking at ALL the reasons Atlas failed. The covers being "too dark" is merely one of them. The covers have other faults, poor design, using old titles (Young Men and Men's Adventures) that would confuse buyers who were used to other features in those books, and reduced size for the main image by using panels at the bottom of some of them. There are likely more things wrong with them, but I'm not a graphic designer.

Then we get to the very short story format.
And the management/editorial problems.
Plus others, I'm sure.
