Although I was never a huge fan of the Atom, I bought it because it contained Gil Kane artwork. Even art mitigated by an inker like Sid Greene, another aspect of the book I wasn't all that fond of, was better than some other alternative. This page is from The Atom #30. Kane's art on this character would really shine much later on when The Atom became a sword and sorcery hero in The Sword of the Atom. Can't recall if Kane inked that one or someone else, but the art reflected more of Kane's artistic vision and was a great looking and great reading book. Sword of the Atom was written by Jan Strnad.

From 1957, here's the cover to The Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #35. 'Ol Rex was DC's answer to Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. Gil Kane was versatile and made this a fun book visually.
Alex Toth and Carmine Infantino also drew stories during the run of this title.
