Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with dynamic art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, this 1961 adventure blends Cold War-era suspense with fantastical sci-fi. The cover by Andru and Esposito captures the moment of peril, perfectly framing their desperate escape in a colossal turtle egg shell.
