Marvila, la Mujer Maravilla #86
In "Preso en una probeta," Ray’s latest marriage proposal hits a snag when jewel thefts plague Ivytown—each crime committed with eerie, invisible precision. The Atom, caught in a platinum chess set during a match, narrowly escapes a poison-fumed trap and races to expose the culprit, only to find himself tangled in a mystery involving a reclusive reporter, Greg Philips, and a mind-altering formula from a dead scientist. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson, this 1962 issue from Editorial Novaro delivers a clever, suspenseful tale with a cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson that captures the story’s intrigue in bold, striking detail.

Ray once again proposes to Jean, but she's distracted by "invisible robberies" of jewelry all over town. The Atom attends a chess match with a platinum chess set and hides in a rook. The entire set is whisked up and away "invisibly". Greg Philips, feature writer for the Ivytown Herald, has gained "mind over matter" with pills invented by a deceased scientist. The Atom escapes a poison-fumed box, telephones to the crime in progress, and scotches Philips. But Jean still won't marry him!
