In "I Became the Juggernaut Man!", Deputy Randy Bannion stumbles upon a mysterious pool of alien water that unleashes a terrifying transformation—turning him into a towering, super-strong being with no memory of what he does in that state. Written by Ed Herron and illustrated by Jack Sparling, this 1965 Strange Adventures tale blends sci-fi mystery with the quiet tension of a man losing control of his own body. The cover by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff captures the eerie, otherworldly dread of the moment just before the change.
