Titanes Planetarios #142

In "El monstruo de polvo," Adam Strange returns to Rann after intercepting the Zeta Beam at Lake Makadi, unaware he's carrying Jakarta, the last Dust Devil from Rhynthar. As the Zeta radiation fades, Jakarta escapes and targets Ranangar, then sets his sights on Earth—specifically Melbourne—seeking revenge. With help from a Wimshurst Machine and a clever use of static electricity, Adam Strange traps the dust-based menace before turning him over to Australian authorities. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Murphy Anderson, this 1962 adventure from Editorial Novaro features a standout cover by Infantino and Anderson, capturing the eerie threat of Jakarta in a striking, dust-laden silhouette.
