Atomic Mouse #12

Atomic Mouse zooms straight at the reader on this cheerful 1986 Charlton cover, his red cape billowing and his big "A" emblem front and center as he tears through the air trailing a burst of speed lines. Down below, a smaller animal figure waves a checkered flag, adding a playful sense of spectacle to the whole scene. Al Fago's cover art captures the character's boundless energy perfectly, and with a story titled "Locust Pocus" waiting inside, this issue promises the kind of lighthearted fun that makes all-ages comics such a delight.
