The Atom #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Riddle of the Two-Faced Astronaut!", the Atom faces a puzzling mystery when his old friend Wizardo’s stage assistant—dressed as an astronaut—seems to be using the magic show as a front for a series of daring burglaries. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art and Murphy Anderson’s sharp inks, this 1963 adventure blends illusion and intrigue, with the cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson capturing the enigmatic flair of the story.
When a magician’s astronaut-costumed assistant stirs suspicion during a high-stakes magic show, The Atom—Ray Palmer—finds himself unraveling a mystery that blurs illusion and crime. With help from Jean Loring and Chief Baxter, he must determine whether the act is truly a trick or something far more dangerous, all while the real culprit remains hidden in plain sight.
The Atom ventures into Professor Hyatt's Time Pool and finds himself in 1739, where he discovers that his ancestor, the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin, once rode the roads with Black Bess and a mysterious ally, Lady Jane de la Mare. Now, with Tom King caught in a web of deception and danger, the hero must unravel a past that’s far more tangled than he ever imagined.
