The Original Captain Atom

Twelve years before the Charlton Comics character debuted, the very first Captain Atom premiered in 1948! Writer Jack Bellew and artist Arthur Mather created the original Australian Atoman! With a fan club reaching into the millions, Captain Atom was the biggest Golden Age superhero from the land down under. Twin brothers are caught up in an atomic explosion, fusing them into the Atomic Man, a costumed crusader who uses his powers to fight The Wrecker, Rigor Mort, and Gerdo the Great. Amazing Australian atomic adventures! You can get this for download at Drive Thru Comics, plus as part of the Sci-Fi Comics Collection Bundle.
