Showcase #34 features the origin and first appearance of the Silver Age Atom, Ray Palmer. It also features the first appearance of Jean Loring.
We have long been in search of a high-grade Showcase #34. While we would like to find one of the three 9.4s, which top the census, none have been on the market since we started collecting this set. Our copy is a very clean 9.0, which we acquired in the September 2020 Pedigree Comics auction.

Issue #3 features the origin and first appearance of Chronos. We have found Atom #3, along with Showcase #34, to be the two most difficult issues out of this set to find in high grade. Our copy pictured here is third highest graded trailing four 9.2s and two 9.4s. We acquired this copy from a good friend basically as a placeholder until a better copy comes along. It features white pages and actually looks pretty solid, despite its relatively low grade. It also hails from the Rocky Mountain Collection.
