Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #7
In "Atomic Energy, Number 10: Radioactive Decay in the Uranium Series," Doctor Solar faces a cosmic threat when the villain Nuro unleashes a guided comet upon Earth. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Frank Bolle, this 1964 Western Comics standout sees Solar harnessing the Van Allen Belt’s power after a desperate energy drain, using a damaged satellite to turn the tide. The cover by George Wilson captures the high-stakes drama of the moment.
In "Vanishing Oceans," Doctor Solar races to stop a mysterious drop in sea levels, uncovering a secret alien operation that’s captured a bathyscaph and its crew—including the brother of Gail, a key ally. With the planet’s oceans receding and Earth’s elements being siphoned into space, Solar must outmaneuver the invaders, reclaim the stolen resources, and restore balance before the damage becomes irreversible.
In "The Guided Comet," Doctor Solar faces a celestial threat when the villain Nuro unleashes a controlled comet upon Earth. Forced to divert its path and drain its energy, Solar is weakened—but with quick thinking, he uses a broken satellite to reach the Van Allen Belt and recharge. The story showcases Solar’s resilience and ingenuity in the face of a high-stakes cosmic danger.
