1/28/2016 Topic: Space Adventures #33 - Ditko's First Superhero texranger37	uchihadesendent wrote: I'm not sure how well this movie will turn out but hype made it go up in value. I'm not sure what movie you're speaking of uchihadesendent. Can you expound on what you said? There is no live action Captain Atom film in the works that I know of, nor is he supposed to appear in the new Dawn of Justice film. As far as I know, this book is getting really hard to locate, and it is a overlooked key - until now, that is. It is Steve Ditko's first superhero (created in 1960) - it precedes Spider-Man by two years. These are the only reasons that I know of. TEX edited by texranger37 on 1/28/2016

Captain Atom is Steve's first ongoing superhero character. I'm glad I have a very High grade copy of that issue in my collection. Captain 3D is credited to Simon and Kirby in the late Golden Age, I read somewhere that Joe Simon said that Ditko had a hand in the creation of the character (whatever that means), but he also said that a bunch of other people did as well. Ditko didn't even pencil the character as far as I know, he just did inks. Captain Atom was co-created, co-written and drawn by Steve Ditko. I think that is a big difference. High grade copies of Captain 3D aren't hard to find, nor are they expensive. Space Adventures #33 is scarce, and expensive. But Captain 3D is definitely a cool comic to have. Congratulations. TEX

These are not as easy to find as you think, most are in crap condition as they are printed on paper that is like tissue paper. Some are in good condition where others are very fine. I still think 2000A.D books have the best stories in comics period, Such a wide range from the dark indeed to futuristic. Time travel, Mad characters & Crazy Mutants. The list goes on & on, Oh! & of course the coolest Robots & Covers. I'll post a few more later for you to... Enjoy! 2000A.D. #10, April 1977. First Robot War & 1st Appearance of Walter (servant robot). Early Appearance of Judge Dredd on a Cover. 2000A.D. #119, June 1979. 1st Appearance of A.B.C.
