With Kirby’s dynamic art and Wally Wood’s inks bringing the action to life, the team confronts the menacing Drabny, whose twisted inventions have plunged the nation into chaos. The cover by Kirby and Colletta captures the story’s bold, futuristic menace—perfect for a 25-cent comic in 1971.
In "The Man Who Stole the Future," Jo and the Challengers answer a plea from Marie, a friend of June, who fears something sinister is unfolding in her homeland of Mordania. With the help of Marie’s courage and their own determination, the team confronts the cunning Drabny, a scientist whose dangerous inventions have given him control over the nation’s fate.
In "Captives of the Space Circus," the Challengers respond to a distress call only to be ensnared by a sinister space circus, where they’re forced to battle the monstrous Quadro in a deadly arena. Trapped among other alien captives, the heroes must find a way to survive the circus’s cruel spectacle—until Prof discovers a shocking twist about the environment that could turn the tide.
In "The Wizard of Time, Chapter 1," the Challengers track down a bewildered Greek soldier mysteriously plucked from antiquity, leading them to the enigmatic scientist Darius Tiko—whose bold claim to have conquered time itself sets the stage for a thrilling mystery.
In "Chapter II: The Men Who Rode Across the Sun," Ace and Rocky, separated and pursued through ancient Greece, are branded as omens by a wary oracle. With time running short, they flee through dusty ruins, desperate to locate Tiko’s stolen plane—only to crash it near a forgotten site where they hope Prof and Red will return with their time cube.
In "Chapter III: The Sorcerer's Sect," the Challengers find themselves swept through time—from ancient Egypt to the fifteenth century, where they seek answers from the famed Nostradamus, hoping his visions might guide them through the mystery they've stumbled into. Written by a team known for their imaginative twists, the story unfolds with a blend of historical intrigue and supernatural suspense.
In "Chapter IV: The Mechanical Judge," the Challengers stumble upon Tiko in the distant year 3,000 AD—only to be arrested and forced to face a cold, impartial machine that weighs their fates. With no human court in sight, the fate of all, including Tiko, rests in the hands of a relentless mechanical judge.
