Al Fago drew and Vince Fago created Atomic Mouse for Charlton Comics. The initial series was published from 1953-1963. During the waning days of Charlton, after they had canceled all of their licensed characters such as the ones by Hanna-Barbera or Jay Ward, Charlton resurrected Atomic Mouse in a last ditch attempt to revitalize their comic book line. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful and Charlton discontinued all comic book publishing and soon closed its doors permanently a few years later. As a result, these mid-80s reprints are somewhat difficult to find in any condition. — Mark Arnold
