Challengers of the Unknown #76

A massive, cyclopean green creature dominates this November 1970 cover, its single glowing eye fixed forward as a young woman in yellow defiantly plants herself between the beast and a ring of armed, purple-suited gunmen — her speech balloon reading "IF…IF YOU TRY TO HURT HIM…YOU'LL HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST!" Joe Kubert's cover art crackles with tension, balancing genuine menace against unexpected compassion in a single striking image. Two featured stories are teased at the bottom — "The Monster Maker" and "Secret of the Sorcerer's Mirror" — promising a full issue of the sci-fi thrills that made Challengers of the Unknown such a distinctive corner of the DC universe in 1970.
