☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Prisoner In Chains," young Tom’s small act of sharing cigarettes sparks a moment of courage and consequence. When bully Brown tries to steal the smokes, Jim steps in—proving that strength isn’t just in fists, but in standing up for what’s right. The story, illustrated with crisp energy by the Francisco Solano Lopez Studio, ends with a clear message: health matters, and choices have weight. The bold cover by Jack Kirby and George Roussos captures the tension of the moment, making this 9d gem from 1967 a standout in the series.
In "Prisoner In Chains," Dr. Blake becomes the key to a dangerous mystery when he volunteers to be captured by communist agents hunting defectors. Trapped in a high-security prison with other missing scientists, he must find a way to break free—before his secret identity is exposed and the mission fails.
In "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants [part 2]," Magneto and his newly assembled Brotherhood seize a freighter to launch a takeover of the South American nation of Santo Marco. The X-Men respond with a full-scale invasion to reclaim the country, but as the battle rages, Xavier is caught in a devastating explosion that strips him of his telepathic abilities.
Jo, a perpetually unimpressed reporter, stumbles into an unexpected act of heroism when he rescues a stranger from a dire situation. Offended by the offer of a simple flashlight as thanks, he refuses—only to watch in stunned silence as the stranger activates the device and vanishes into the stars, returning to Alpha Centauri.
