The Atom Archives #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of The Atom Archives collects the Silver Age adventures of Ray Palmer, the size-changing scientist-hero, reprinting The Atom #7-12 and The Atom #14 from the early 1960s. These stories, written by Gardner Fox with art by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson, see Palmer shrinking to subatomic levels to battle foes like the Bug-Eyed Bandit and Chronos, while also exploring the scientific and romantic aspects of his dual life. The hardcover edition presents these classic tales in a restored, archival format befitting DC's historical preservation series.
In "The Riddle of the Two-Faced Astronaut!", The Atom [Ray Palmer] is pulled into a mystery when his old friend Wizardo the Great brings a mysterious astronaut-costumed assistant to his act—only to have the performance take a strange turn when the figure becomes linked to a string of high-tech burglaries. With Chief Baxter watching closely and a suspicious Peter Venner involved, Ray must untangle the truth behind the illusion before the real culprit vanishes into the shadows.
The Atom journeys through Professor Hyatt's Time Pool to 1739, where he uncovers a surprising family secret: his ancestor was the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin. Now, with the legend of Black Bess and the mysterious Lady Jane entangled in the past, the Atom must navigate a web of danger and deception—before history itself is rewritten.
In "Voyage to Beyond!", The Atom [Ray Palmer] finds himself on an ocean cruise with Jean Loring when the ship’s passengers—including Jean—suddenly vanish, replaced by eerily perfect duplicates from the alien realm of Randath. With the world around him unraveling, Ray must confront the enigmatic villains Kathis, Anton, and Santh as he races to uncover the truth behind the invasion and restore what’s been stolen.
In "I Accuse Ray Palmer — Of Robbery!", the Atom finds himself at the scene of a high-stakes coin heist, leaving him suddenly under suspicion. With Fred Norton and Billy the Wheel pulling the strings, Ray Palmer must prove his innocence before the evidence — or the public — convicts him.
