Stop Calling Me “Moon Boy!”

Continuing the ‘Wardrobe Malfunctions’ theme, we’re shown another side of the Golden Age Atom, as he uses a novel tactic to stop evildoers in their tracks…
A Tip of the Hat I Never Wear to Aldo Alvarez, who drew this to my attention… In 1940’s All-American Comics 20, Al Pratt throws on his Atom costume for the first time – and nearly misses! You can imagine Al’s thought processes; “Yes, criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot… but on the other hand, I’m a 4′ 10″ ginger, so I’ll just bedazzle them with my shiny white buttocks instead!”
“Fear the Arse of the Atom! FEAR IT!”
I see he’s been imprisoned. Must have been a bum rap !
That’s what happens when you don’t turn the other cheek !
