☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Challenger," a future Earth sends a suicide mission to Mars, but aboard the ship, a rebellious daughter escapes an arranged marriage only to find love with the captain. As they near Mars, they discover the planet has already surrendered—its regime overthrown by a revolution, and its people freed from war with Venusian and Saturnian forces. Cover by Dick Giordano, this 1965 Charlton issue offers a rare, poignant sci-fi tale from the era’s bold imagination.
In "The Challenger," Earth faces its most fearsome visitor yet when the Yagolian conquerors send their champion, the towering robotic warrior Lukk, to subdue the planet. Though the aliens underestimate Earth’s defenses, they’ve never encountered Konga—whose strength proves unmatched, even against a foe of such colossal scale.
In "The Portrait of Youth," a man's desperate gamble to reclaim his youth begins with a single, startling purchase: a painting of Julius Caesar said to transfer vitality to its owner. As he ages in reverse, the portrait itself seems to wither—yet no miracle can outpace the failing heart that ultimately claims him.
