Fightin' Five #41
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCharlton's elite super-squad faces their wildest challenge yet in this 1967 issue, as the cover promises a showdown with the "Monster From The Abyss" — and delivers on that threat with a massive, snarling reptilian creature rising up against the Fightin' 5 amid splashing seas and their vessel, the U.S.S. Plane. Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio's cover art captures the chaos vividly: team members scramble across the creature's back, one leaps through the air firing a weapon point-blank at the beast's gaping jaws, while another looks on from the foreground in stunned readiness. With interior work by writer Joe Gill and artist Bill Montes, this 12-cent Charlton adventure packs a genuinely thrilling sci-fi punch.

The sub launches a missile that falls into an underwater abyss and awakens a giant prehistoric reptile that is "The most fantastic sea monster in history" and"who was born 250,000,000 years ago". The monster dubbed "Junior" attacks the submarine. Meanwhile The Fightin' Five show up and try to get Junior away from the sub.
