Five-Score Comic Monthly #17

In the remote highlands, a diamond-detector leads a survey team to a hidden rock seam—where one man vanishes into a glowing gaseous pit, only to be replaced by a figure forged entirely of diamond. The crew’s scientific mission takes a surreal turn as they confront a being whose very form defies understanding.

On Saturn’s moon Titan, Earthmen stumble upon a strange new lifeform—part of their ongoing quest to explore the solar system’s farthest reaches. The discovery sparks a tense, unexpected encounter that tests their understanding of alien intelligence and survival.

In "We Were Trapped in Freak Valley!" from Five-Score Comic Monthly #17 (1959), hunters Steve and Jed stumble upon a tiny elephant and a hidden valley where a volcanic gas mysteriously alters size. Drawn by the promise of profit, they begin gathering the bizarre creatures—only to find the valley has no intention of letting them go.
