“The Challengers Die at Dawn”

Challengers of the Unknown #24 delivers two action-packed stories for just 12 cents, headlined by "Multi-Man, Master of Earth!" and "The Challengers Die at Dawn!" Bob Brown's cover pulls no punches: a monstrous, fiery creature looms over rocky terrain while members of the team in their signature purple jumpsuits scramble desperately to escape its reach, with a caption warning that Multi-Man has merged his three strange forms to threaten the entire world. Arnold Drake's scripts paired with Brown's dynamic art make this 1962 issue a vivid snapshot of the era's boundless appetite for larger-than-life sci-fi adventure.

The Challengers hunt scam-artist Manfredo in Southeast Asia, where Prof, Red, and Rocky offend the local tribespeople and are sentenced to die at dawn. Claiming right to trial by combat, Rocky and Red face two challenges, but are both aided by a mystery person. Meanwhile, Ace and June find evidence that Manfredo was killed. Finally, Prof conquers his challenge, this time with help from Rocky and Red, freeing the trio, who are reunited with Ace and June. They deduce Manfredo was the secret helper, wanting to ensure the Challs reported his death. They find Manfredo, capture him, and head home.
