“Survival Quest!”

In "Survival Quest!", Captain Marvel races against the clock to find a cure for the energy-sucking villain Deathgrip, who's holding thirty hostages captive. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, the hero must push himself to the limit in a desperate bid to save lives—before it's too late. Written by J. Shooter and D. Moench, with art by P. Broderick and inks by B. Wiacek, this 1978 issue features a striking cover by Gil Kane and Bob Wiacek.
