Strange Adventures #244

In "The Powerless Weapons of Adam Strange!" from Strange Adventures #244 (1973), a bizarre fusion of atomic testing and a mysterious meteorite triggers an unexpected evolution—parakeets grow to giant size and develop human-level intelligence. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Henry Sharp with inks by Bernard Sachs, the story follows Adam Strange as he confronts the escalating threat, while Murphy Anderson’s cover captures the surreal scale of the crisis.
