Atomic Mouse is a funny animal superhero created in 1953 by Al Fago for Charlton Comics, depicted as an ordinary mouse who is shrunk by an evil magician and given U-235 pills that grant him super powers, which he uses in his fight for justice against the evil Count Gatto. The strip bearing his name ran to 54 issues over eleven years, and many of his stories were reprinted during the mid-1980s by the American Comics Group. In 2001, Atomic Mouse was licensed by the furry comic company Shanda Fantasy Arts. Fago went on to create Atomic Rabbit (a.k.a. Atomic Bunny) and Atom the Cat.
