“The Planet and the Pendulum!”

In "The Planet and the Pendulum!", Adam is zapped by the zeta-beam and finds himself not on Rann, but on the distant world of Anthorann, where he evades barbarians and their mysterious "Rainbow Doom" before meeting Alanna and Sardath—survivors of a crash-landed mission from Samakand. With help from a Rann spacesuit recovered from wreckage, Adam must confront a new threat: invaders from Morleen wielding a diamondium pendulum that threatens to breach the dome of New Ranagar. Written by Gardner Fox and Edmond Hamilton, with dynamic art by Mike Sekowsky and inks by Frank Giacoia and Joe Giella, this 1969 Strange Adventures issue features a striking cover by Neal Adams.

Zapped by the zeta-beam, Adam is teleported, not to Rann, but to Anthorann, a neighboring planet. Escaping barbarians and their "Rainbow Doom" (a teleporter), he meets Alanna and Sardath. They used knowledge from Samakand scientists to journey to Anthorann, but crashed. Adam dons a Rann spacesuit from the wreckage. Now invaders from Morleen swing a "diamondium" pendulum to cut open the dome of New Ranagar. Adam ray-blasts the shaft - and fades away to Earth.
