Atom Special #1

Steve Dillon's cover puts Ray Palmer front and center in his familiar blue-and-red costume, surging forward with fist outstretched against a deep black backdrop swirling with atomic orbits and glowing yellow orbs. It's a sharp, confident portrait of DC's size-changing hero that feels right at home in 1993. Writer Tom Peyer teams with Dillon for "Shrinking from the Past," making this special a compelling spotlight for one of DC's more underrated scientific adventurers.
