Sword of the Atom #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2007 collection brings together the 1983-84 miniseries Sword of the Atom and its two subsequent specials, following the adventures of Ray Palmer, the Atom, who finds himself stranded in a microscopic jungle after a personal tragedy. Written by Jan Strnad with art by Gil Kane, the story explores Palmer's struggle to survive and find purpose in a dangerous miniature world.
In "Book One: Stormy Passage," Ray finds himself stranded in the Amazon after a crash leaves him reduced to just six inches tall, stumbling upon a hidden world of tiny inhabitants beneath the jungle canopy. Written by Jan Strnad and brought to life with bold, detailed art by Gil Kane—both interior and on the cover—this issue marks a striking departure into the unknown, where scale and survival blur in a lush, mysterious landscape.
In "Book One: Stormy Passage," Ray, separated from Jean, journeys to the Amazon in search of a fragment of white dwarf matter—only to crash and find himself shrunk to six inches tall, awakening in a hidden world of tiny people deep within the rainforest.
In "Book Two: A Choice of Dooms," the Atom—Ray Palmer—steps beyond his scientific roots to become a legendary warrior among the people of Morlaidh, leading a resistance against the tyrannical King Deraegis. As he finds himself drawn to the courageous Princess Laethwen, his journey tests not just his strength, but the very ideals he once believed were unshakable.
When Jean Loring is accidentally shrunk to six inches tall, Paul Hoben and Norman Brawler rush to the Amazon in search of Atom for help—only to arrive in the midst of a fierce clash between Ray Palmer and the warrior Torbul.
