Challengers of the Unknown #45

The cover of this September 1965 DC issue says it all: a towering Multi-Woman, dressed in teal and red, looms over the battlefield wielding a rake while the Challengers scramble below against a firing robot and a fiery monster. The cover blurb — "The World's Mightiest Menaces Get a New Leader" — sets up the threat with satisfying confidence, promising the team a foe who commands an entire army of Challenger-haters. Bob Brown's artwork brings real energy to the chaos, packing the cover with menace and motion that makes this a genuinely fun snapshot of DC adventure comics at their mid-sixties best.
