Space Adventures #39

When Captain Adam discovers a flaw in the experimental X-49's oxygen pump—one that will catastrophically fail at extreme altitudes—he's forced to reveal his true nature as Captain Atom to save Major Silberling's life during a critical test flight. With the test-pilot already showing signs of oxygen deprivation in the thin upper atmosphere, Captain Atom races against time to repair the failing bearing before it's too late. A tense race through the vacuum of space where only an invulnerable hero can survive the conditions that would kill an ordinary man.

When an alien attack devastates Earth, Captain Atom confronts the invaders at their artificial stronghold to discover the truth behind their assault—and learns what it will take to stop them from returning. This space-faring showdown pits the atomic hero against Edox and his alien army in a race to prevent conquest and slavery on a cosmic scale.

Captain Adam transforms into the super-powered Captain Atom to deliver classified NATO defense plans across the Atlantic, but his mission takes a dangerous turn when he's intercepted in Berlin by enemy operatives working for the notorious Soviet intelligence chief Vladimir Koss. Held at gunpoint by a desperate young woman named Frieda, Captain Adam is forced into the heart of an Eastern European spy network, where he must use all his extraordinary abilities to escape with his valuable cargo and critical intelligence. It's a high-stakes Cold War thriller where a single man's power stands between the free world and catastrophic compromise.
