Challengers of the Unknown #34
In "Beachhead, U.S.A.", the Challengers of the Unknown face their most bizarre foe yet: Multi-Woman, a shape-shifting marvel who can turn into a fish, fly with wings, and hurl fireballs. With Arnold Drake scripting and Bob Brown handling both art and inks, the issue delivers a pulse-pounding showdown on the beach, where a giant diamond necklace becomes the key to victory—though not in the way anyone expects. The cover by Bob Brown captures the moment perfectly, as the Challengers brace for a fight that’s as unexpected as it is electrifying.
