Atmos

Emerging from the pages of Legion of Super-Heroes in 1987, Atmos is a Copper Age DC creation from the celebrated team of Paul Levitz and Greg LaRocque, born into one of comics' most richly populated futures. Over roughly a dozen years, this intriguing figure turns up across flagship DC titles — Adventures of Superman and Action Comics among them — rubbing shoulders with luminaries like Brainiac 5 and Green Lantern. With a relatively select catalog footprint, Atmos has the allure of a deep-cut discovery: the kind of character that rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the sprawling, ambitious cosmos of late-'80s Legion storytelling.
