Mighty Samson #3
Mighty Samson #3 (1965) kicks off the gripping "Peril from the Past [Part 1]" with Otto Binder’s tight script and Frank Thorne’s dynamic art bringing the hero’s latest challenge to life. When a toxic leak threatens the region, Dr. Pitt’s mysterious past resurfaces as he leads the team through ancient vehicles to the source—only to face a reckoning when Sharmaine, hidden aboard a helicopter, thwarts his escape. The cover by Morris Gollub captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story where history, sacrifice, and survival collide.
In "Peril from the Past [Part 1]" from Mighty Samson #3 (1965), Samson and his companions uncover Dr. John Pitt, a scientist frozen since the nuclear war, only to find he’s more concerned with self-preservation than salvation. Now awakened, he’s forced to confront his past as the group presses him to stop a dangerous leak of ancient chemicals threatening all life in N'Yark.
In "Peril from the Past, Part 2: The Desperate Mission," Dr. Pitt leads the group to a toxic leak site using ancient vehicles, guiding them to neutralize a deadly radioactive threat. As tensions rise, Sharmaine—hidden aboard a departing helicopter—confronts him, forcing a final, desperate choice. With the fate of the mission hanging in the balance, Dr. Pitt makes a sacrifice that brings him face to face with a death he’s outrun for centuries.
