Thanksgiving Turkey SKATE MAN Conclusion

"Criminals are a superstious, cowardly lot...
....so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts!"
Well, that didn't quite work out...
To avenge the death of his girlfriend by a biker gang, VietNam vet Billy Moon becomes a roller-skating vigilante...
And that's how the story ends, not even a epilogue setting up future issues!
We hope you enjoyed our Thanksgiving Turkey!

Thanksgiving Turkey SKATE MAN Part 1

The phrase "martial arts" encompasses a great many forms and techniques of combat...
...even (believe it or not) this hybrid form in a 40 year-old never-reprinted one-shot comic that we proudly present as our Thanksgiving Turkey!
To Be Concluded
TOMORROW!

Written and illustrated by Neal Adams (with some inking by his Continuity Associates studio), this was intended as a tie-in to a feature film...which was never made.
When the notoriously-slow Adams couldn't meet the deadline for the contracted second issue of Ms. Mystic at Pacific Comics, he offered this project as a stopgap.
Trivia:
The comic sold 70,000 copies, more than almost anything on the stands today!
Kitchen Sink's 1991 World's Worst Comics Awards parody comic named Skateman the "Worst Comic Book of the Past 25 Years"!
Ms. Mystic #2 finally came out a year later, right before Pacific Comics folded!.

Make it a Kick-Butt Christmas Day!

In our ongoing quest to suggest cool Christmas gifts for our faithful fans, we of Atomic Kommie Comics™ would like to direct you to, perhaps, the most unlikely of departments--Pop Art Martial Arts™
But, when you think about it, considering how Western-based, cops-and-robbers-oriented, and military-themed toys and gifts have been part of the Yuletide for generations (I'll never forget finding my first 11.5" GI Joe under the tree one Christmas morning!) it's only natural that martial arts-oriented gifts should also be part of the holiday season!
Beyond the fact that you can't shoot your eye out with a gi, (Note: Do NOT give ninja throwing stars to kids as a present!) all these themes are based on the concept of good triumphing over evil, protecting the helpless, and having fun doing it!
And, martial arts promote physical fitness! ;-)

We offer men's, women's, and kid's garb, as well as stuff to decorate your dojo.
And what a lineup...
The ORIGINAL StreetFighter!
and, for those who want a Power Rangers-style look with rubber-suited monsters aplenty...
Infra-Man!
And, if you combine one of our items with a related dvd (like those conveniently-listed below), you'll have the Ultimate  Gift Set for the kung-fu movie maven in your life!
So, make it a Merry, Martial-Arts Christmas!
Ho, Ho, Ho, Hiii-Yahh!
