Nukla
During the Eisenhower administration Dick Giordano was a freelance artist working mainly for Charlton. Though, uncredited, he was one of the main guys behind short lived Nukla character, a Dell version of Captain Atom. The work here is classic Giordano pencils with astutely and perfected inks from co-creator Sal Trapani. The center panels showcase spy, Matthew Gibbs, struggling to transform into Nukla, an often reused plot device from the series. This page comes from a comic with where artic dwelling villain Captain Whale hates science and befriends the commies in order to defend his territory. A sheer epitome of the Atomic-Age.
