The revival of short-lived Marvel Comics rival Atlas Comics has been announced.
The return of the publisher will be headed by Jason Goodman, grandson of Marvel and Atlas founder Martin Goodman.
Goodman will relaunch Atlas's first two titles, The Grim Ghost and Phoenix, at New York Comic-Con in October.
"Although my grandfather eventually sold Marvel, he insisted on keeping Atlas Comics in the family," said Goodman. "As a result of his vision, Atlas Comics is the largest individually-held library of comic book heroes and villains on the planet.
"We have 28 titles and hundreds of characters imagined by some of the greatest minds in the industry. They will now find a new life in comics, television, and movies. We are thrilled to finally bring these great characters back for the world to enjoy."
Goodman is working in with Ardden Entertainment and its co-presidents Rich Emms and Brendan Deneen to revive the properties.
