In "The Hidden Enemy," G-Force takes a break from battling evil to join Tiny in a galactic talent show, but Zoltar seizes the moment to strike. With two Spectra champions secretly entered in the competition, Tiny faces off against a towering weightlifter—only to be ambushed and pinned under a thousand pounds of steel. When Princess is kidnapped and taken to an abandoned mine, the team must free Tiny and follow her homing signal, unaware that Zoltar has already set a deadly trap. Written by Gary Poole and illustrated by Win Mortimer, this 1980 issue features bold action and suspenseful twists, with cover art by Win Mortimer.
