Dillin and Sid Greene artists

From 1969 measures about 10 x 15

Looks MUCH nicer in hand and most of the "white" area's  on the left and right side near the top are a glare from the camera flash.

The Atom is featured in this title splash from the late Silver Age that appeared in Atom and Hawkman #41. Art is by long-time Justice League of America artist Dillin who appears to be channeling the spirit of long-time Atom artist Gil Kane by creating the type of dynamic layout that Kane specialized in.

The Atom is very much in the spotlight as he's now being featured on the hit TV show Legends of Tomorrow now in its second season. The Atom is Ray Palmer, the second DC character to be called the Atom and the first to actually shrink to the size of an atom. He was introduced in 1961's Showcase #34 and then was quickly spun off into his own series and became a long-time member of the JLA. Late in the run of The Atom the series absorbed the character of Hawkman becoming Atom and Hawkman. The Atom was co-created by Gil Kane and Kane drew most of his adventures in the Silver Age. Actor Brandon Routh, who also played Superman in the movie Superman Returns, first appeared as Ray Palmer on the TV show Arrow before joining with a bunch of time-traveling DC characters on the aforementioned Legends of Tomorrow.

Following a long run on Blackhawk that lasted over 15 years, Dillin took over as artist on Justice League of America in 1968 and stayed on the title until until his death in 1980. He missed only one issue during those 12 years. For a generation of fans, Dillin was the artistic voice of the DC multiverse, showcasing not just the JLA but all of the other teams that were brought into the annual Justice League/Justice Society crossovers, including the JSA, the revived Seven Soldiers of Victory, the Freedom Fighters and the Shazam Squadron of Justice.
