“The Traitorous Challenger”

In "The Traitorous Challenger," the Challengers of the Unknown face their most baffling threat yet: a relentless, indestructible, one-eyed box monster that lays waste to villages, immune to their gear. As tensions rise and June's strange actions begin to unravel, Prof pieces together the monster's secret—its eye is powered by the sun. With time running out, the team races against the clock until sunset, when the creature finally collapses. Written by Dave Wood and Jack Kirby, with art by Jack Kirby and inks by Marvin Stein, this pivotal issue features a cover by Jack Kirby that captures the eerie menace of the beast.

A prospector uncovers a monster, an indestructible one-eyed walking box that tramples villages. The Challengers's weapons don't make a dent. And June mysteriously sabotages their efforts! Prof finally guesses the monster's one eye is solar-powered. Pursued until sunset, the monster expires. June had run a computer program that predicted the Challengers would die, hence her sabotage. But her efforts changed the equation, so she saved the day!
