Challengers of the Unknown #16

In "The Incredible Metal Creature," the Challengers of the Unknown chase a fugitive only to uncover a far stranger threat: Halanka, a metallic alien from another world, wielding powerful magnetic and thermal abilities. When Halanka destroys their Jeep and turns the tide, the team must rely on an unexpected ally—interplanetary lawman Thark—to turn the fight around. With Thark’s force-field gun and quick thinking, the Challengers close in, but the battle is far from over.

When pilot June Robbins stumbles into a mirage-world of medieval castles and armored knights, the Challengers race to save her before the illusion vanishes. Trapped in a realm where reality bends, they face a deadly chariot duel—testing courage, wit, and speed—just as the entire city begins to fade.
