☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Scourge of Mars," Konga battles Martian invaders who have attacked Earth with flying saucers and deployed a shrinking ray weapon. Military forces fight alongside Konga to defend against the extraterrestrial threat, and the alien invaders are eventually captured and taken to a laboratory for study. Scientists discover that a device controls the Martians' size and contemplate using it to further analyze them or render them helpless. The issue also includes an educational feature comparing human size to other animal species, illustrating how nature calibrates creature sizes for survival and ecological balance.
In "The Scourge of Mars," Earth faces an aerial assault from mysterious Martian saucers that unleash storms, fires, and chaos from the skies. After Konga fights back and is captured, the Martians shrink him and take him to their planet, where he’s joined by the escaped American pilot Cpt. Beamis. Together, they find a way to reverse the shrinking ray and turn the tide against the Martian fleet.
In "The Size of Things," a concise, thought-provoking essay from Konga #18 (1964), the interplay between scale and biology is explored through the lens of nature’s limits—why some creatures are small, others large, and why certain sizes simply don’t work. Using clear, typeset letters, the piece examines the physical constraints that shape the animal world, from insects to humans, without ever naming the exact rules that govern them.
