Challengers of the Unknown #46

In "The Strange Schemes of the Gargoyle," the Challengers of the Unknown track a cunning thief across the city rooftops, only to find him forming an unexpected bond with a blind woman named Laura. As the Gargoyle orchestrates a series of daring moves—ranging from jailbreaks to a shocking betrayal—the Challs must balance their pursuit with protecting Laura, who soon discovers the truth behind her mysterious benefactor.

In "The Best Challenger Wins," June sets a test to determine the team's leader, handing each Challenger a unique gift to aid their quest for the Gargoyle. As Ace navigates a robot pterodactyl, an underwater minisub, and a giant robot hand—using his hour-glass, pen, and quick thinking—his teammates each face peril and rely on his ingenuity to survive. The story unfolds with clever, high-stakes teamwork, culminating in a decision that honors both courage and resourcefulness.
