NoKo Crushers COMBAT CASEY "Atomic Warfare"

Since it's Veteran's Day...

...let's look at how our comic book military viewed a possible atomic war in the 1950s against the Communist NoKos (aka North Koreans)!

WTF???

Admittedly, in 1954, when Combat Casey #19 was published by Atlas (later Marvel), scientific analysis of actual a-bomb explosions was limited, but I find it hard to believe that this was the cutting-edge of nuclear knowledge as presented in this never-reprinted story by artist Robert Q Sale and an unknown writer!

Then again...maybe it was, as detailed by this legendary character...

Russkie-Smashers ATOMIC ATTACK! "Tomorrow's War!"

RUSSKIES!

In 1953, we thought we'd still be fighting them in the not-so-distant future...

... of 1972!

Now that's scary!

This wild tale was from the first issue of a "future war" title from the 1950s called Atomic Attack!

(It was called simply Attack for it's first four issues and added "Atomic" to the title as of the fifth issue, so the first issue of Atomic Attack was #5!)

Oddly, only the lead story in each issue was future-based!

The other tales were set in contemporary (Korean War) times!
Sadly, because the publisher, Youthful Publications, is long defunct and left no successor company, there are no records of the writer or artist(s) for this story!
