    Battle of the Sexes

    This issue is a relatively long one by the usual standards of comics at the time, even within the series, but it fills up the extra length well as this is an issue about marriage and love.  With that in mind, there is one of the usual and most common of plot elements here where certain characters under mind control are urged "to fight through it" and regain their control.  This is a cliche which occurs often enough, even into the modern day, but it works better here as the theme of the entire issue is that of love (as the Atom and Jean are about to be married.)  In fact for a relatively unknown comic this one has a fair bit of relevance to a lot of events which followed later, notably the evil turn that Jean will take in the future.  The combination of relevant DC Universe history and the general level of levity in this issue makes it a pretty decent retrospective look on the comics of the time.
