“The Giant of the Alps!”

In "The Giant of the Alps!", Professor Grimm’s reckless experiment with a growth serum takes a deadly turn when he kidnaps a child and transforms him into a towering giant. With the giant rampaging through the Alps, Torch and Sun Girl must race to reverse the effects before the child’s size becomes permanent—or worse. Written by Joe Millard and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, with inks by George Klein and a striking cover by Vince Alascia, this 1949 adventure blends science-fueled peril with the heroes’ signature courage.
