Strange Adventures #136
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Robot Who Lost Its Head!", Star Patrol officer Mike Dillon—always the runner-up, content with silver medals—finds his perceived shortcomings become his greatest asset when the very medals he’s long viewed as symbols of failure unlock a hidden ability to breach an alien stronghold. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, this 1962 Strange Adventures tale blends sci-fi intrigue with a quiet character moment, all framed by Murphy Anderson’s striking cover.
In "Lost—100,000 Years!" from Strange Adventures #136, two agents of the Galactic Time Patrol race against time to stop Alan Parker from activating his solar engine on September 28, 1961—before it plunges humanity into the Second Age of Barbarism. The fate of civilization hangs in the balance as they navigate the fragile timeline, determined to prevent a catastrophe that could erase progress for millennia.
When Star Patrol officer Mike Dillon realizes his lifelong streak of silver medals might actually be his greatest asset, he finds himself facing an alien invasion on a dimension-hopping mission. The unexpected power of his medals—born from their chemical properties—becomes the key to breaking into the enemy's stronghold, but whether it's enough to stop the threat remains uncertain.
