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.

  1. Kane inked himself on Sword of the Atom. Beautiful art, and his inking had taken on a real sophistication.
