Atom

Physicist Ray Palmer discovers a fragment of white dwarf star material that enables him to shrink to subatomic size while retaining his full strength, becoming the size-changing superhero the Atom. This French edition was published by Arédit-Artima.

Few characters carry the Silver Age spark quite like Atom, who first leapt onto the page in Etranges Aventures #3 in 1967, brought to life by the legendary creative partnership of Gardner Fox and Gil Kane. Published by Arédit-Artima, this character's catalog footprint stretches across an remarkable span of nearly six decades, appearing alongside some of the most iconic names in comics — Green Lantern, Flash, Superman, and Bruce Wayne among them. Most at home in the pages of Etranges Aventures, Spécial DC, and Démon, Atom is a fascinating piece of Franco-Belgian comics publishing history, representing the era when American superhero adventures found enthusiastic new audiences across the Atlantic. For collectors with a taste for Silver Age material and the rich world of European DC reprints, this is a character whose appearances reward the search.
