The lost and the forgotten.

In the mid 1980’s, DC Comics bought up a number of Charlton Comics characters as assets to integrate into their own pantheon of superheroes. They included The Question, Blue Beetle and Nightshade. You might remember them.

You might also remember Captain Atom, another character bought up from Charlton. He was the original inspiration for the powerful Doctor Manhatten in Alan Moore’s seminal mid-80’s series, Watchmen.

Captain Atom went on to star in various monthly DC comic books over the decades, but of late, he’s been nowhere to be found.

Lost and forgotten.

But no more!

Today, Captain Atom returns in a band new, six-issue miniseries: The Fall And Rise Of Captain Atom – and it’ll be a rebirth, ushering the character into the new DC Universe proper!
