“The Secret Origin of the Atom”

This 1988 DC anthology puts the spotlight squarely on the Atom, depicted center-cover in his red-and-blue costume with orbital rings sweeping dramatically around him — flanked in the background by the looming presences of Martian Manhunter and Batman. Cover art by Mike Carlin and Keith Wilson gives the composition a bold, eye-catching energy that sets the tone nicely for an origins-focused issue. Beyond the Atom's story, the issue also promises tales of Mr. America and the Golden Age Red Tornado, making this a genuinely satisfying package for fans of DC's rich heroic history.
