Challengers of the Unknown #78

A giant hand sweeps an enormous butterfly net across the cover of this 1973 DC adventure, scooping up several members of the Challengers of the Unknown — all dressed in their signature red uniforms — as one cries out, "We're being trapped like butterflies — with no chance to escape!" The sheer scale of the threat feels genuinely unsettling, and the story title "The Isle of No Return" promises the kind of high-concept danger this team was built to face. Cover pencils and inks are both by Jack Kirby, whose bold, kinetic compositions made the Challengers one of DC's most visually compelling teams of the era.
