During its brief tenure, Atlas changed the comic industry and attracted talents like Larry Lieber, Steve Ditko, Jeff Rovin, and Howard Chaykin, to name but a few.

Recently, the Atlas properties have been revived and optioned for a series of TV and film projects.

Mego is launching four new 8″ Atlas figures based on their classic comic designs next weekend at New York Comic Con. Wal-Mart will reveal a new character each convention day and give away 100 of each figure. Marty Abrams will sign all four days of NYCC at the Wal-Mart booth. The first wave of Mego Atlas Comics figures comes in a display box complete with a reprint of the character’s first issue. It is expected to be available at Walmart.com this December.

Marvel Comics News:

Mego also revealed that the upcoming Marvel waves will be exclusive to Disney Stores, Theme Parks, and the Disney website. Each series will consist of four Megos in their classic window boxes. Wave 1 of the Marvel line is expected to ship in December 2024, and four waves are scheduled for 2025, bringing a total of 20 Marvel Mego figures in the coming months. Disney will reveal characters in the coming weeks.

Mego Demon Etrigan

First Look: Mego Demon Etrigan from the Worlds Greatest Superheroes

“Gone! Gone! – the form of man – Rise the demon Etrigan!”  This unlikely hero was created in 1972 as two characters – demonologist Jason Blood forced to share a body with the hell-born Etrigan. Merlin’s servant since the days of Camelot, Etrigan is a member of the Justice League Dark magical circle, fighting demons and extradimensional foes.

Created by Jack Kirby, the Demon was a different type of comic book. Part horror, part superhero – Etrigan was an anti-hero before the term became popular. Even after his series ended, Etrigan kept popping up in other comics – teaming up with Batman, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, and other superheroes.

Mego Corp. continues to expand their 50th Anniversary World’s Greatest Superheroes collection with this sometimes hero.

  Sculpted by Tyler Hamm. 

Costume by Brian Leitner.
