Atom (Ray Palmer)
The Atom is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The Atom was created by editor and co-plotter Julius Schwartz, writer Gardner Fox and penciler Gil Kane. He was one of the first superheroes of the Silver Age of comic books and debuted in ''Showcase'' #34 (Oct. 1961).
==Publication history==
The Atom debuted in ''Showcase'' #34 (cover-dated Oct. 1961) from the DC Comics precursor, National Comics.〔(''Showcase'' #34 ) at the Grand Comics Database.〕 Early comics-fandom pioneer, Jerry Bails, corresponded the National Comics editor Julius Schwartz in December 1960 outlining an updated version of Al Pratt, the company's 1940s Golden Age Atom. Bails, and future Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, Roy Thomas collaborated on a suggested version that incorporated elements of the Golden Age hero, Quality Comics' Doll Man.〔Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", pp. 8-9〕 Eventual Atom writer Gardner Fox wrote Bails on January 1, 1961, stating that Schwartz passed along Bails' letter to him.
Schwartz wrote Bails on January 6 saying he had already been planning a new version of the Atom, in the vein of National's reimagined Golden Age superheroes the Flash and Green Lantern, and had already asked artist Gil Kane to sketch designs.〔Schwartz letter to Bails, reprinted in Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 10〕 Kane, unaware of Bails' suggestions,〔Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 11〕 said he did "a series of drawings" on large illustration boards, including a depiction of the new Atom riding a German shepherd dog and another of a pistol firing at the Atom, who wore the costume he eventually would in his comic debut but without a belt.〔Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 10〕 Kane, who lived in Jericho, New York, on Long Island, at the time, drove to the nearby Hicksville home of DC production person Tom Nicolosi, who colored the drawings using St. Martin's dyes.〔 Schwartz, after seeing the drawings, had the belt added, a detail Kane said he disliked since "it broke up the costume lines."〔Kane in Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 11〕 Schwartz said he had not wanted to reuse the Golden Age Atom, Al Pratt, and had read about dwarf stars and thought a fragment of one could power the new hero's miniaturization. He added that he and Fox together plotted the early stories of this new Silver Age Atom.〔Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 13〕 Fox said in 1979, "I doubt that any feedback from Bails or Thomas had very much of an influence, though always kept their ideas in the back of our minds."〔March 26, 1979, letter from Fox to James Flanagan, published in ''Robin Snyder's History of Comics'' vol. 2, #2 (Feb. 1991) and quoted in Thomas, "Splitting the Atom", p. 14〕
His civilian name, Ray Palmer, was an homage to science-fiction magazine editor Raymond A. Palmer.
