Captain Atom #80

From Charlton's 1966 run, this issue pits Captain Atom against the menacing tyrant Mad Drako, and the cover by Steve Ditko and Rocco Mastroserio captures the stakes brilliantly — a glowing, energy-radiating Captain Atom is drawn into the clutches of the villain's machinery while Drako looms large, fist raised, boasting of his plans to harness our hero's atomic power to rule two worlds. The cover copy promises a collision of worlds and an "incredible tyrant" holding destiny itself in his hands, making "Death Knell of the World!" exactly the kind of all-action epic Charlton fans were happy to find on newsstands for just twelve cents.
