In "Secret of the Rocket-Destroyer!", the Knights journey to New York City, hoping to find a hidden food cache—only to discover a city eerily empty above ground. Beneath the surface, in a forgotten fallout shelter, they encounter a shocking sight: humans and cavemen, both shaped by the lingering effects of radiation. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Murphy Anderson, this 1960 issue features the artist’s distinctive inks on both interior art and cover, capturing the eerie isolation of a world reborn in the shadow of disaster.

In "The Cavemen of New York!" from Strange Adventures #123 (1960), the Knights venture into the ruins of New York City, drawn by whispers of a hidden food cache. What they discover instead is a forgotten fallout shelter, deep beneath the surface, housing a forgotten people—humans altered by radiation, living like cavemen in the dark.
