“Book Two: A Choice of Dooms”

In "Book Two: A Choice of Dooms," the Atom takes up a sword to lead the people of Morlaidh against their oppressive king, finding himself drawn into a struggle far beyond his usual size. Written by Jan Strnad and illustrated with bold, dynamic precision by Gil Kane—both on interior art and cover—this 1983 DC adventure blends heroism and romance as the Atom forms a deep bond with Princess Laethwen. The cover, also by Gil Kane, captures the intensity of his dual role as warrior and protector.
