Atlas

A figure of mythic stature, Atlas stepped onto the Silver Age DC stage in Superboy #110 in 1964, brought to life by artist George Papp. Sharing the page with legendary heavy-hitters like Hercules, Samson, and Superman himself, this is a character who clearly runs in extraordinary company. Though the catalog traces only a handful of appearances across a three-decade span, Atlas surfaces in the pages of both Action Comics and Superboy — two of DC's most storied titles — making even a brief encounter with this character a genuine piece of Silver Age history worth seeking out.
