Challengers of the Unknown #36

A massive, purple-clad figure strains against heavy chains while smaller Challengers struggle desperately to restrain him — that's the striking cover Bob Brown delivers for this 1964 DC adventure. Titled "The Giant in Challenger Mountain," the story promises the team facing a threat from within their own headquarters, as a speech bubble warns the rampaging figure (called out by name as Rocky) that the police will shoot him on sight. Arnold Drake's writing paired with Brown's dynamic linework makes this an entertaining chapter in the Challengers' run of daring, offbeat science-fiction thrills.
