Atom Ant

    (Gold Key, 1966)
™ and © Western Publishing Company, Inc.

A comic book based on the one of the final shows from Hanna-Barbera’s golden age which lasted from approximately 1958-1967 before they sold the company to Taft. Atom Ant originally appeared on The Atom Ant Show from 1965-67, before being paired up with Secret Squirrel in separate adventures in 1967-68. Atom Ant was probably inspired by DC’s The Atom and Marvel’s Antman and may have become the inspiration for the 80s New Wave sensation Adam Ant (“Goody Two Shoes”).
