Tiger Man!
...Meant to to comment on this yesterday. Tiger Man!<br /><br />I have this very mag! This was the Atlas I really loved....the issues that really DID emulate Marvel. Conway and Ditko were certainly qualified to do that! <br /><br />Oddly enough, despite Atlas' reputation as being a Marvel imitation (no surprise since Martin Goodman ran things for Atlas/Seaboard), very few of their comics actually resembled Marvel at all. Well, they did in their cover designs, but the interiors were often very strange. Tiger Man no. 1 was a weird book. I liked THIS Tiger Man better.<br /><br />I guess it's no coincidence that my favorite Atlas titles were the most "Marvel-ized" of the Atlas lineup: "The Destructor" and "Tiger-Man!"Chris Nyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381409214303880118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-22773986931104215802009-04-21T23:37:00.000-04:002009-04-21T23:37:00.000-04:00I actually don't think I've ever heard of him befo...I actually don't think I've ever heard of him before.

I kept them because I didn't see them being reprinted any time soon....<br /><br />Yes, this was the Tiger-Man I preferred......Conway and Ditko did a good job "Marvelizing" the character. <br /><br />Atlas was often criticized for being too "Marvel-like" (which was to be expected with Martin Goodman in charge!), but the truth is, a lot of their books only resemble Marvel in their cover designs. Many of the interiors are not like Marvel at all and are very......strange.<br /><br />Tiger Man no. 1 was like that. A very weird book. But I actually preferred it when Atlas DID emulate Marvel, and Tiger-Man.....along with The Destructor.....did the best job of that I thought. Atlas was a perfect example of the fun spirit of the 70s comics scene.....Chris Nyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381409214303880118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-61259977835133509092009-04-21T06:15:00.000-04:002009-04-21T06:15:00.000-04:00This was one of the few Atlas one's I skipped.
