I don't know at what point Charlton decided that Captain Atom would look better in a bright yellow uniform rather than the old one that looked like gold and bronze. Or at what point they thought Mastroserio inking Ditko's stuff really worked. And Ditko put so much into creating a viable reworking of the Blue Beetle only to blow it all by going all Ayn Rand on our asses...it was probably a weird time to be Steve Ditko...

Wasn't Captain Atom's suit always solid yellow? Maybe the color difference you see is in the scans (or in Charlton's famously erratic printing). Personally I thought Ditko and Mastroserio were a good team.

I prefer Ditko/Mastresario to pure Ditko.
