The Atomics

    (AAA Pop, 2000-2001)
™ and © 2000 Mike Allred

In Snap City, a group of young street beatniks, mutated and disfigured by alien spores, have become outcasts of society. But several of them have tired of their self-imposed exile, and struggle to overcome the hardships of their mutations. Inspired by their friend Jack, now called Mr. Gum, and aided by former nemesis Frank Einstein, (a.k.a. the zany Madman), they learn the spores have given them the potential for great power. Along with an alien teen using the moniker Zapman, the street beatniks form their own super-hero team.

The Atomics, and the publishing company AAA Pop Comics, are the work of Madman creator Mike Allred and his wife Laura.
