Strange Adventures #117
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom DC's science-fiction anthology series comes this 1960 gem featuring "Challenge of the Gorilla Genius!" — and the cover by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson says it all. A massive, reaching gorilla crashes what appears to be a National Science Academy Award ceremony, accusing the distinguished Dr. Van Horne of being a fraud who stole ideas, while two startled men on the podium look on in alarm. It's the kind of delightfully strange premise that made Strange Adventures a standout title of its era, and at a dime a copy, readers in 1960 were getting quite a deal.

The Baron has stockpiled all of the canned food in a fortress and will only give it to townspeople that work for the benefit of the Baron.
