“Prisoner in the Atom”

In "Prisoner in the Atom," a self-centered billionaire's attempt to secure his survival in a deep underground shelter takes a terrifying turn when he stumbles upon a hidden society of primitive humans, triggering a collapse that strands him beneath the surface. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Larry Lieber and inks by Matt Fox, this 1974 tale blends Cold War anxiety with primal survival. The cover by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano captures the isolation and dread of the moment, a 10p comic that’s as sharp in concept as it is in execution.
