Strange Adventures #230

In "Secret of the Moon Sphinx!", Adam Strange returns to Rann with a dangerous secret: Jakarta, the last of the Dust Devils, has survived and is hiding within him, seeking vengeance against Ranangar. As Adam and Jakarta crash-land near Melbourne, Australia, a surprising discovery about static electricity leads to a shocking containment method—using a Wimshurst Machine to freeze the elusive creature. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Murphy Anderson’s sharp inks, this 1971 tale blends sci-fi intrigue with a tense, grounded mystery. The cover, also by Murphy Anderson, captures the eerie suspense of the moment.
