In "The Tyrant Who Owned the World," the Challengers of the Unknown answer a call from the Challengers Corps—a group of ordinary people they once saved—only to find themselves stranded on an island of twisted world landmarks, ruled by the enigmatic Korba. With their wits and newly empowered gear, the team faces a mechanical colossus and ancient forces awakened by their victory, all under the watchful eye of a villain with no nation but a world to conquer. Written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Bob Brown, with cover art by Bob Brown, this 1966 DC adventure blends sci-fi spectacle with the team’s signature blend of grit and mystery.
