Item Description
The credits on this issue read like a who’s who of Silver Age greats.
The cover is done by the immortal Gil Kane. No artist was ever able to match his
ability to place the Atom in such dangerous situations while keeping the sense
of perspective so perfect. The cover is inked by a man who is possibly the best
inker that Gil Kane ever worked with, Murphy Anderson. The interior art is done
by Kane and Sid Greene. Finally, the story is written by the man many consider
to be the most consistently interesting writer in the history of comics, Gardner
Fox. Their presence makes an issue such as this one for the ages. One of the
highlights of the Silver Age Atom series was the recurring story line known
under the blanket title of Time-Pool. Through his friendship with another
scientist, The Atom had access to a time-travel device. These stories were big
hits with fans and over the years, DC ran several of them. Any issue of the Atom
that carries one of these is a treat. The pages are off-white to white. The book
is CGC-certified 9.4 (NM). According to the CGC Census, this copy is tied with
two others as the second highest certified copy they have seen.
