If you're looking for classic comic book suspense featuring someone you might never have read (or even HEARD of) before, DOCTOR SOLAR, MAN OF THE ATOM is for you.
I purchased the 4-volumes of this Gold Key reprint series several years ago strictly as conversational pieces for my Hardcover collections, but only recently got them out to read as word started to spread about Jim Shooter and Dark Horse's new DOCTOR SOLAR comic starting up in a few months.
Filled with oodles of fantastic plot devices that could only come from such a unique time, DOCTOR SOLAR stands alone as a rich blend of super-hero action, rich art and simply wonderful stories that remind us of a time when people had fallout shelters in their back yards and feared an atomic bomb would land on their heads.
While the $50 price tag might make you turn your nose up, I promise, it's worth more than a geiger counter in Atom Valley, USA.
