Challengers of the Unknown #44

The Challengers of the Unknown face a genuinely unsettling threat on this 1965 DC cover by Bob Brown — a massive, hypnotic eye hovers in the sky while the team in their yellow jumpsuits strains at a rope in a deadly tug-of-war across a rocky chasm, with a monstrous green hand lurching up from below. The cover copy warns that the Eye is hypnotizing them into this dangerous contest, and the tension is palpable as one Challenger teeters at the very edge of the cliff. Featuring "The Curse of the Evil Eye," written by Bill Finger with art and inks by Bob Brown, this is the kind of imaginative, high-stakes adventure that made the Challengers one of DC's most entertaining sci-fi teams of the era.
