Atom the Cat #17

This cheerful Charlton offering from 1959 puts Atom the Cat's grinning face front and center in a bold circular spotlight, while three vignette panels tease the fun ahead — "Fish Is His Dish" showing Atom near the water, "The Prospector" with clicking sounds and a treasure chest, and "Rodeo Riot" sending Atom flying through the air with a hearty "SNORT!" from whatever launched him. Jon D'Agostino's cover art keeps everything bright and bouncy against a sunny yellow background, perfectly capturing the slapstick spirit of this ten-cent treat. With Joe Gill writing and George Wildman on art and inks, this issue promises the kind of good-natured cartoon mischief that made Atom the Cat such a delight throughout his Charlton run.
