Likely story department: Al Pratt, the Golden Age Atom, has to think very quickly when his girlfriend drops by work:
Accidentally.
A huge observatory telescope. Meant to be looking up at the stars. And you just happened to, somehow, look into an apartment window.
Sure, whatever you say, Al.
Anyway, they see a murder, a whole Rear Window thing follows, it revolves around a cross-dressing evil twin (seriously!). None of which can distract us from the fact that:
Golden Age Atom=Peeping Tom.
He's just lucky Mary hadn't come in the night before, when he was checking apartments downtown...
Golden Age perversion courtesy of Flash Comics #90 (1947) as reprinted in 100-Page Super Spectacular #18 (1973). At least we now know where Hitchcock got the inspiration for Rear Window...

Wonderful. But shouldn't that read "sick, sad people"?
