The Atomic Cricket Ball

The Atomic Cricket Ball, a single-issue comic published by E. J. McAlister & Co. in 1946, stands as a peculiar, one-off artifact of post-war British comics. Its title suggests a whimsical fusion of cricket and atomic age anxieties, a curious glimpse into the era's pulp sensibilities. Though it lasted only one issue, its very obscurity makes it a footnote for collectors of niche, forgotten periodicals.
