“L'espion qui recherchait l'or”

In "L'espion qui recherchait l'or," the Atom dives into a global mystery when Communist nations unexpectedly offer to settle debts with gold—only for him to discover the precious metal is laced with lethal radiation. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art and Sid Greene’s sharp inks, this 1971 adventure blends Cold War intrigue with the Atom’s signature scientific precision. The cover, also by Gil Kane and Sid Greene, captures the tension of a world on the brink.
