 Atom (Ray Palmer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atom introduced during the Silver Age of comic books in Showcase # 34 (Sep-Oct 1961) is physicist and university professor Ray Palmer (named for real-life science fiction writer Raymond A. Palmer, who was himself quite short).
Neither character appears regularly in comics, and even in their heyday were mostly supporting characters, often with Palmer as a specialist who was needed to access extremely confined areas only he could access although he has had several short-lived series.
One of them was a four-issue limited series and three subsequent specials all entitled Sword of the Atom, in which he abandoned civilization and became a Conan-like figure, hero of a tribe of six-inch tall yellow-skinned humanoid aliens in the jungles of Central America).

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Atom
By 1961, the practice of reviving 1940s superheroes was well established at DC Comics.
True, they were both little guys — but the 1940s Atom was "little" only within the normal human range, whereas the 1960s one was more like the 1940s Quality Comics character Doll Man, only more so — he had the power to shrink himself to microscopic size.
Starting in 1968, he had to share his comic with Hawkman, who was also starting to wear out his welcome with the fans; and in 1969, the comic was cancelled.

The dialog is written in an alien language, making this effectively a silent comic, the type that Trondheim excels at.

There are several short stories, each of which features cute little alien creatures doing rather disturbing things to themselves and each other.
Reading through this comic with different sets of assumptions can radically change how we react to the material, and brings in question how we react to all those other comics where we know--or think we know--the context in which it should be read.
