Challengers of the Unknown #25

A menacing green alien hunter and a spotted creature called Cosmo dominate this 1962 DC adventure, as the four Challengers of the Unknown scramble to escape an extraterrestrial trap amid bursting explosions. Bob Brown's cover art captures the tension beautifully — the team in their signature purple uniforms, one member cradling a child to safety, while their imperiled space pet makes a desperate last stand on their behalf. This issue also promises a second tale, "Return of the Mighty Pharaoh," making it a genuinely packed read from writer Arnold Drake and artist Bob Brown.
