Atoman: What Remains is a standalone superhero comic about aging, legacy, and the kindness that outlasts extraordinary strength. Barry Dale has spent decades as Atoman, but his body is failing and his powers have become dangerous. As he connects with a troubled young boy and a struggling community, Barry must discover what being a hero means when he can no longer rely on his abilities.
This edition opens with a restored presentation of the original 1946 Atoman story, followed by the new 32-page one-shot. Golden Age superhero history meets an intimate story about the man beneath the costume. No previous reading is required.
First appearing in 1946, Atoman was the creation of writer Ken Crossen and legendary comic-book artist Jerry Robinson.

For readers drawn to character-driven superhero stories, forgotten comic book heroes, and the question of what we leave behind.
