The legend of the scientific super hero, the Atom, is brought back to life as it was originally presented in the 1960s. Reprinting the earliest adventures of Ray Palmer and his belt of White Dwarf Star material, which allowed him to shrink his body in size, these classic tales show the beginnings of one of the most well-known heroes of all time. In this collection of stories, the Atom must take on a tiny planet-hopping thief, solve the mystery of a lingering curse from the ancient Salem Witch Trials, and capture a communist spy attempting to steal American defense plans.
