Lost cities get a lot of play in comic books, especially Atlantis. Sometimes it seems like enough little fragments and offshoots managed to survive the place that it would be surprising to hear of anyone dying. Here are a selection of fates of Earth-Two Atlantis:
(this is the Atlantis that Zatara encounters with Setap. Doubles as a Fate of Ophir entry: the pseudo-historical Biblical city is a remnant of Atlantis until Zatara blows it up)
-Some portion of the people of sunken Atlantis move to the underground regions of the Arctic, founding the nation of Ugar (Adventure 052, 1940)
(Earth-Two is riddled with underground kingdoms such that it would be surprising if no Atlanteans ended up down there)
-A portion of the population of sinking Atlantis relocates to a vast cavern under the Azores (Action v1 037-038, 1941)
-A portion of the population of sinking Atlantis relocates to the interior of Brazil (Action v1 043, 1941)
(Both of the latter two involve aviator-heroes the Three Aces, yet they fail to even mention the Azorean Atlanteans to the Brazilian Atlanteans)
More updates as I encounter 'em!
