Showcase #12

In "Chapter 1: The Menace of the Ancient Vials!", Karnak and his crew flee the Challengers only to crash-land on a remote island, where they stumble upon Amos Hunter and five enigmatic vials. When the first vial is opened, two of Karnak’s men are instantly transformed into towering giants—setting off a chain of strange and dangerous events. Written by Dave Wood and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby on pencils and Leonard Starr on inks, this early Showcase tale blends adventure and mystery with Kirby’s signature flair. The cover, also by Kirby with inks by Roz Kirby, captures the moment of discovery with bold, dramatic flair.
