Solar: Man of the Atom

In 2014, Dynamite Entertainment revived the Gold Key hero with Solar: Man of the Atom, a 12-issue series helmed primarily by writer Frank J. Barbiere and a rotating art team of Jonathan Lau, Joe Bennett, and Anthony Marques. This modern take reimagined the classic character as a scientist who merges with a sentient solar entity, grappling with godlike power and its consequences. The series stands as a key entry in Dynamite's Gold Key revival line, offering a thoughtful, action-driven exploration of identity and responsibility.
