About this title

Review:

Here's a real cold-war comic. Doctor Solar is a scientist working at an atomic laboratory when an accident in an atomic pile converts his body to atomic energy. But instead of dying, he becomes the Man of the Atom, endowed with incredible powers of flight, speed, and more, even though it prevents him from ever leading a normal life with Gail, his object of affection. Originally published by Gold Key in 1966-1968, issues 15-22 find our hero traveling through time to prevent a doomsday bomb, fighting microbe invaders from outer space, and battling archvillain Nuro and his cybernoid henchman Orun. Also complicating matters is the arrival of Gail's nephew Hamilton, who suspects Doctor Solar's secret identity. --David Horiuchi
