Aventures Fiction #47
In "Je suis Overlord," the Challengers respond to a distress call that leads them into a bizarre trap: a space circus run by sinister aliens who imprison them as part of their spectacle. Packed into cages and forced to battle the monstrous Quadro, the heroes must survive the arena before uncovering a shocking truth about their captors. Written by Dave Wood and Jack Kirby, with art by Jack Kirby and inks by Wally Wood, this 1975 adventure blends sci-fi spectacle with unexpected twists—perfect for fans of classic, high-stakes team-up tales. The cover, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta, captures the surreal grandeur of the circus from the moment the Challengers are pulled into its orbit.
In "Captifs du cirque de l'espace," the Challengers respond to a distress call only to be ensnared by a bizarre space circus, where they're forced to battle the monstrous Quadro in a deadly arena. Trapped among other alien captives, they must survive the circus's cruel performances—until Prof discovers the strange atmosphere grants them super-strength, turning the tide against their captors.
In "Sauver la Terre," an amnesiac astronaut stumbles from a wrecked ship, disoriented and alone on a strange world. As fragments of memory return, he begins to suspect his identity is not what it seems—his mission may be far more urgent than survival.
In "Le bracelet démoniaque," a mysterious alien collector targets Earth's finest, including a gifted athlete, to harvest their unique abilities. With a sinister device that amplifies strength and speed, the alien plans to conquer his homeworld—leaving the athlete's fate hanging in the balance.
In "Le héros préhistorique," Reed McCall—used to relying solely on himself—finds his independence tested when the Green Glob deposits him on prehistoric Earth, where he must team up with a band of alien game hunters to survive the monstrous creatures they've unleashed for sport.
In "Les trois menaces venues d'ailleurs," Professor Ira Galton faces three inexplicable cosmic crises that defy all known science—each a puzzle with no precedent, no solution in sight. As the stakes rise, he begins to suspect these disasters aren’t natural phenomena, but deliberate trials from a distant, enigmatic intelligence.
