If an A-Bomb Falls #1

This 1951 civil defense educational comic presents practical survival guidance in the event of an atomic bomb attack on American cities. The issue provides homeowners and office workers with detailed instructions on preparing shelter areas, including selecting basement locations, stocking first aid supplies and canned goods with water, and establishing emergency communication protocols. It emphasizes staying calm during and after an attack, remaining sheltered until authorities declare an area safe from radiation, and explains the nature of atomic blast effects, radioactivity dangers, and decontamination procedures such as removing contaminated clothing and bathing. The comic frames atomic preparedness as a civic duty in response to the threat of communist attack during the Cold War.
