The second issue of Dr. Atomic sets the tone for the rest of the series, as Dr. Atomic and Billy join up with “Crazy” Crosby on a journey to “The Giant Grass of Bangagong Valley.” The writing is inventive and funny and the artwork ranks with the best of Larry Todd. This comic not only establishes the viability of the Dr. Atomic series, but is also the most entertaining issue that Todd produced. In fact, Dr. Atomic #2 is an unheralded minor underground classic that was probably a bit lost in the flood of dreck that came out in 1973, though it did enjoy several richly deserved reprintings.
