Konga #25
In "The Land of the Frozen Giants," two survivors of the torpedoed American destroyer Jeffries drift for days before boarding the ghostly, centuries-old Flying Dutchman—only to find its crew frozen in time and its decks haunted by the past. Written by Jack Oleck and illustrated with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, this 2018 issue delivers a chilling, time-bending voyage where reality itself seems suspended. The cover, also by Ditko, captures the ship’s spectral grandeur in stark, haunting detail.

The American Destroyer Jeffries is torpedoed. Adams and Sawyer float for six days in a lifeboat until they see an old sailing ship. After climbing aboard, they notice the crew are old and ghostly looking and are wearing centuries old clothing. They find out that they are onboard the famous cursed ship the Flying Dutchman. They jump overboard and float for days clutching onto debris. When they are picked up by a Navy cruiser, it's revealed that the Jeffries was sunk in 1918 and that it's the present day in 1957. 39 years passed the few moments the two men were onboard the Flying Dutchman.
