“The Freak Super-Heroes”

In "The Freak Super-Heroes," Robby Reed—still reeling from a near-fatal encounter with the robot Super-Hood—discovers that a strange electrical storm in space has somehow transformed him into a bizarre, unpredictable hero. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Jim Mooney with inks by George Roussos, this 1967 House of Mystery standout blends surreal sci-fi with classic superhero flair, all wrapped in a striking cover by Jim Mooney.
