He already had Wood, Ditko and Sekowsky working for him, at double the rates they got at Tower. Atlas could've coasted on reprints and continued with new stuff. Maybe it just wasn't enough like Marvel. which seemed to be an obsession.

And licenses were likely dirt cheap back then for these, relative to today. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-21956231353698981282015-11-15T19:12:38.918-05:002015-11-15T19:12:38.918-05:00I too was disappointed that they made them zombies...I too was disappointed that they made them zombies in the latest movie.<br /><br /><br /><br />Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-44183992412542456112015-11-15T08:29:37.029-05:002015-11-15T08:29:37.029-05:00Jeff Rovin has said that one of the titles he prop...Jeff Rovin has said that one of the titles he proposed for Atlas Comics back in the 70s was I am Legend. (His idea was to get instant credibility on the newsstands by licensing recognizable properties. He also wanted to do The Spider, Kolchak and the Thunder Agents.) Martin Goodman didn't want to pay the fees, so instead we got Planet of Vampires. ( And the Scorpion, the Cougar and Tower's Tippy Teen, renamed Vicki.)<br /><br />I think just about every license he proposed has since been successfully brought to comics, including the above as well as the Avenger and Godzilla.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809592629762693427noreply@blogger.com
