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.
