About the series
DC's Power of the Atom (1988–1989) gave the diminutive hero his first solo series, a short but memorable 18-issue run that explored the life and legacy of the Atom. Written primarily by Roger Stern, Tom Peyer, and William Messner-Loebs, with art by Graham Nolan, Dwayne Turner, and John Byrne, the series balanced superhero action with the unique challenges of a scientist who could shrink to subatomic size. It remains a fondly regarded chapter for fans of DC's more cerebral, character-driven adventures from the late 1980s.
