Captain Atom #87

From Charlton Comics in 1967 comes this vivid showdown between Captain Atom — his silver-haired hero in the familiar blue-and-red atomic symbol costume — and a peculiar adversary who embodies contradictory forces at once. The cover by Steve Ditko and Rocke Mastroserio dramatically stages the confrontation, with the Fiery-Icer simultaneously wreathed in flames and crackling ice as Captain Atom squares off against him amid an explosive orange backdrop. Writer Dave Kaler and artist Steve Ditko deliver what promises to be a genuinely inventive villain concept — a foe who weaponizes fire and cold in the same breath — making this a fun snapshot of Silver Age superhero imagination at its most colorful.
