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. A mysterious super-plane is destroying American air bases, and even worse, it appears to be Captain Atom at the controls. The Captain and crew are stranded on a remote island while seeking the rare icthy-sequin, or "glitter fish." The Arabian envoy scheduled to meet with Captain Atom is replaced by their exact duplicates, right down to the fezzes. Plus a pinup of Captain Atom on his Jet Propelled Water Skis. High Treason; Hunters of Birrark; In the Dark; The Cat With the Emerald Eyes. 5-in. x 7-in., 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.
