Captain Atom #4

From the creative team of Bates, Broderick, and Smith comes this striking 1987 entry in DC's Captain Atom series, where the cover's bold "Missing in Action!" tagline sets an immediately urgent tone. Pat Broderick's cover art depicts Captain Atom tumbling through a swirling vortex of energy rings against a star-filled void, his silver-suited form caught in what looks like a harrowing dimensional or atomic disturbance — mouth open, arms outstretched, and clearly not in control. It's a visually arresting image that makes issue #4 — featuring the story "Fathers' Day" — a compelling addition to any collection of mid-1980s DC superhero comics.
