Unusual Tales #42

1963-11-01 · 36 pages

In "Prisoner in the Atom," a scientist desperate to escape the chaos of the outside world devises a shrinking formula—only to discover that at atomic scale, the same conflicts and pressures follow him. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, with inks by Vince Alascia, this 1963 Charlton tale explores the unsettling idea that no matter how small you become, the world’s burdens may still be with you. The cover, by Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano, captures the eerie scale of the journey.
