Number 256


Underground comics



Here are variations on a theme: two stories about people who find utopian civilizations underground, with two different endings. "The Men In The Mole" was published in Atlas Comics' Journey Into Unknown Worlds #55, March 1957, and "The Spelunker" appeared in Atlas' Marvel Tales #141, December 1955.

"Mole" was illustrated by John Forte, and "Spelunker" by famous Mad-man, Mort Drucker.

  2. I'm not familiar with much Drucker stuff outside of his classic MAD work, it's really neat to see his distinctive line style and characters in full color.
