Sidéral #46
In "La vengeance du démon de poussière," Adam Strange returns to Rann after a mission in Africa, unaware that Jakarta, the last of the Dust Devils, has secretly stowed away in his holster from Rhynthar. As the Zeta Beam’s effects fade, the vengeful spirit of dust unleashes its fury on Ranangar, then sets its sights on Earth—specifically Melbourne—where Adam must use his wits and a Wimshurst Machine to stop the static-charged menace. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson, this 1962 adventure from Arédit-Artima features a cover by Infantino and Anderson that captures the eerie, swirling threat of Jakarta.

Adam Strange intercepts the Zeta Beam at Lake Makadi, Tanganyica, Africa and returns to Rann, unknowingly carrying Jakarta, the last surviving Dust Devil, who had hidden in Adam's holster on the planet Rhynthar (see Mystery in Space #68). Seeking revenge, Jakarta attacks Ranangar. The Zeta radiation wears off and returns the pair to Earth, which the dust devil also plans to conquer, near Melbourne, Australia. Adam discovers that static electricity can freeze Jakarta, traps him with a Wimshurst Machine (which discharges electricity) and then turns the Dust Devil over to Australian authorities.
