The Atom #8

The cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson delivers one of 1963's most delightfully inventive DC images: the tiny, fist-clenching Atom trapped inside a blazing, electrified lightbulb while the smirking Dr. Light — dressed in his sleek black-and-white costume — controls the device with cool, villainous confidence. "Lockup in the Lethal Lightbulb!" is a story title that perfectly captures the Silver Age's gift for imaginative peril, and writer Gardner Fox with interior artist Gil Kane are clearly in top form matching that premise. If you enjoy DC adventure that pairs a genuinely clever threat with a hero who has to think small to win big, this one belongs in your collection.
