The greatest stories from one of DC's greatest heroes, the Atom, are collected here in LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: THE ATOM! From his debut in SHOWCASE to his membership in the mighty Justice League, Professor Ray Palmer has shown that there is no size that determines heroism! The Atom has maintained his status among the pantheon of great heroes in the DC Universe, and nowhere is his might more apparent than in these incredible stories! With tales from such creators as GARDNER FOX, GIL KANE, ROGER STERN and more, LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: THE ATOM is a great starting place to learn more about one of the star characters of the hit CW show! LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: THE ATOM collects SHOWCASE #34, SECRET ORIGINS #29, THE ATOM SPECIAL #1, GIANT-SIZE ATOM #1 and JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: THE ATOM - REBIRTH #1. "Interestingly, whereas Legends of Tomorrow was a recent DC anthology series -- named, of course, to coincide with the CW television series -- this appears to be an actual Legends of Tomorrow -themed tie-in collection, with a variety of Atom stories from through the years. Showcase #34 is Ray Palmer's first appearance; Secret Origins #29 is his post- Crisis origin; Atom Special #1 is one of a couple 1990s stories by Tom Peyer (too bad not also the second special); Giant-Size Atom continues Jeff Lemire's story from Adventure Comics (so you'd think those backups would be here too), and then there's the Justice League of America: The Atom: Rebirth special, which is of course about Ryan Choi and not Ray Palmer. -- Collected Editions "Though not an official CW tie-in novel, this collection of stories about The Atom is a must read for any Legends fan. Featuring tales from huge creators in the DC Universe, it's theultimate guide to understanding The Atom (played by Brandon Routh on the show!)." -- Rachel Carter
