Atomic Rabbit #10

Charlton's pint-sized superhero is in fine form on this January 1958 cover, as Atomic Rabbit — cape flowing and "AR" emblem front and center — confronts two scheming wolf characters who are making off with what appears to be a wheeled cannon. Maurice Whitman's lively linework gives the whole scene a bouncy, animated energy that suits the title's fun-loving spirit perfectly. With a story called "Dig That Uranium" waiting inside, this issue captures the playful atomic-age charm that made Atomic Rabbit such an entertaining corner of the Charlton lineup.
