Not to be confused with the Charlton Comics character of the same name, this Captain Atom is an inventor-hero whose adventures teach kids about science. Captain Atom and Professor King are called in to find a mysterious saboteur who never leaves a trace. A hijacking gang steals "critical war materials" from the US to sell overseas. Captain Atom traces crop-fires to a plague of insects known as prothoflame bugs - but who released them? Plus a pinup of Captain Atom in his Super Jet Car. The Invisible Enemy; Mystery Blackout; The American Way; Smuggler's Secret; Lost Island. 5-in. x 7-in., 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.
