Product Description:
The legend of the scientific super-hero, the Atom, is brought back to life as it was originally presented in the 1960s. Reprinting the earliest adventures of Ray Palmer and his belt of White Dwarf Star material, which allowed him to shrink his body in size, these classic tales show the beginnings of one of the most well-known heroes of all time. In this collection of stories, the Atom must take on a tiny planet-hopping thief, solve the mystery of a lingering curse from the ancient Salem Witch Trials, and capture a communist spy attempting to steal American defense plans.

- the atom archives , vol 1 - shipping problemI received this colectible product with book covers -both top right end corners (1/4 inch) crushed, which affected a slight bend of 20 - 30 pages inside the book.

It was a science based comic book which I found very appealing when I discovered ... Read More

- Room to GrowAs a child, I liked my superheroes to have a scientific bent, so the stories about physics grad student Ray (The Atom) Palmer adventuring not only on earth but also in time and other dimensional worlds appealed to me. Plus, kids can identify somewhat with a hero that the adult world towered over.
Comics from the '60s were all about gimmicks, and the Atom's was that he could shrink, varying from submicroscopic size to about a foot tall. That let stories develop from notions of putting the Atom ... Read More

- Atom shrinks with age: Great Artwork, Poor WritingI remember the Atom when he first came out, and I read a couple of these issues as a kid. I bought this volume on the strength of the art, which is excellent in my view, and relying on my enjoyment as a kid of these stories. There remains a lot of dynamism and solidity to the penciling in these stories, but not much else. Unfortunately the writing (and I am usually a fan of Gardner Fox)is lousy, and the plot twists, few as they are, lack believability. In retrospect, I wish I had not invested--it's not ... Read More
