Captain Atom created by Steve Ditko and Joe Gill for Charlton Comics, is almost certainly the most famous and most enduring of the many superheroes who were born of the atomic age. He was the very byproduct of an atomic blast, a man transformed by the destructive power of an atomic bomb into something which could use atomic power for the betterment of the world. But while he was the most famous, he was hardly the only hero.
More Atomic Action tomorrow!
Rip Off
Rip, on the subject of space adventures I hope you are following the Artemis II mission to the moon - the first lunar mission since 1972. Donald Trump and his MAGA followers show the worst of America to the world but NASA has always shown the best of America.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and all the Dojo readers!
I have been following it a little, but not with the vigor I followed the NASA trips to the Moon in the late 60's and early 70's. It is great to finally go back, even though I'm a gray beard now.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. Consider him added to the rollcall.
