Atomic Mouse is a talking animal superhero created in 1953 by Al Fago for Charlton Comics.
Publication history
Created by writer-artist Al Fago, Atomic Mouse debuted in Charlton Comics' Atomic Mouse #1 (cover-dated March 1953). The series ran 52 issues through cover-date February 1963. The Grand Comics Database notes, "Overstreet has listed #53-54, but there is no evidence they actually exist." Another reprint issue, Atomic Mouse vol. 3, #1 (Dec. 1984) followed, as did a three-issue fourth volume (#10-12, Sept. 1985 – January 1986).
Writer Mike Curtis and penciler Charles Ettinger revamped the character in Shanda Fantasy Arts' SFA's Atomic Mouse, which ran for three issues published from 2001 to 2004. The same publisher issues the one-shot publication SFA's Atomic Mouse vs. Power Jack in 2009.
In November 2024, Atomic Mouse guest-starred in issue #9 of Tomorrow Girl, a title published by Antarctic Press written by John Holland, with art by Ben Dunn and Larry Guidry, alongside Herbie Popnecker and Fatman the Human Flying Saucer.
Fago went on to create Atomic Rabbit (a.k.a. Atomic Bunny) and Atom the Cat.
