Atomic Basement Comics and Creators Lab… it’s the place! When you’re looking for comics, it’s all here!
Everybody was warmly welcomed inside by Wonder Woman herself, who had the honors of cutting the opening day store ribbon. Once inside, a true treasure trove of merchandise awaits the patrons, and all are very generously displayed. What caught my eye was a Save the Galaxy from the Death Star on a vintage replica Star Wars Arcade Machine, that along with a massive inventory of comics, and more comics, makes this a worthy venue for even the most advanced comic connoisseur.
“This is a lot of fun, it’s rock and roll!” – Mike Wellman, owner of Atomic Basement Comics

“Hi, My names Dan. I’m a cartoonist from Denver Colorado and I travel all over the country. I try to get into a different place every weekend. I work on the Nightmare Before Christmas comics and I also do various covers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the next one will come out next month. I did the front and back cover where she’s wearing a punk rock jacket with patches, one is styled after The Ramones, that’s one of the patches she’s wearing, then for the corner box I wanted to have her pose, so I looked at a promotional image of PJ Soles when she took a photo with the Ramones from Rock ‘N’ Roll High School, leaning up against the wall so that was the pose I used. I got to color a cover of Archie meets The Ramones drawn by John Holmstrom. So many connections between old school punk rock and comics.

This is about a low level from the 13th bit of hell where people throw their dog shit and gum wrappers, and she wants to bring the 2nd coming of armageddon but the first one never happened because she’s stupid. This comic is based on girls I fucking couldn’t stand and who are cunts.
I’m running a Kickstarter right now to get the 3rd book published, it ends on the 20th of February, and I also have a website. The book is all done, I just need a publisher.
