I re-read this issue last night and it was a lot better than I had remembered. The cover story had the Atom working along with the CIA to do some spy work in Vienna, with a final fight scene in a toy store. Like the "Old Look" Batman in fight scenes with giant sized props, the Atom in pitched battle using everyday objects was a staple of this part of the Silver Age. The second story was a solid mystery story. The first story was inked by Murphy Anderson, and the second was inked by Sid Greene, and the contrast drove home the reasons that I have always preferred Anderson's inks on Kane. Greene's inks rounded out Kane's figures, but too much so and made them look kind of balloon-ish to my eyes. Also, Greene would always draw people's eyes so that the whites were pronounced and the pupils were tiny, making everyone look constantly surprised.
Kane did the best fight scenes of anyone at DC at that time. They were well composed and elegant. The only artist who could do fight scenes as well was Jack Kirby, but they were bar room brawls; Kane's were ballets.
