Titanes Planetarios #82
In "Capítulo I 'El brujo del tiempo'", the Challengers are drawn into a mystery when a man dressed as a Greek soldier is captured trying to steal a plane. Led by the enigmatic Darius Tiko, a scientist obsessed with time travel, the team ventures to the Island of the Wizard, where they pursue Tiko through a time cube—only to find themselves trapped in a shifting timeline.

In "Capítulo I 'El brujo del tiempo'," the Challengers of the Unknown are drawn into a mystery when a captured man dressed as a Greek soldier insists he’s trying to return to the "Island of the Wizard." Led by Professor Haley, Ace Morgan, Rocky Davis, and Red Ryan, the team follows the soldier’s clues to a remote island where they encounter the reclusive scientist Professor Harlan Fuller and his enigmatic protégé, Darius Tiko. As Tiko’s experiments with time travel unravel, the Challengers must pursue him into a mysterious time cube—before the past, present, and future collapse.
In the sun-baked ruins of ancient Greece, Ace Morgan and Rocky Davis flee accusations from an oracle who calls them harbingers of ill omen, their only hope to find Tiko and recover his stolen technology. With the wreckage of Tiko’s plane their last refuge, they crash near a forgotten site, praying their teammates, Professor Haley and Red Ryan, will return with the time cube to turn the tide.
In the sands of Egypt, the Challengers of the Unknown face a mystery deeper than the desert’s secrets when they confront Tiko’s stolen telescope—and its dangerous legacy. With Professor Haley and Red Ryan leading the charge, the team reunites with Rocky and Ace, only to be pulled through time to the 15th century, where the legendary Nostradamus may hold the key to Tiko’s disappearance.
In "null," Doctor Rocket finds himself on an alien city sealed beneath a vast glass dome, where the peculiar routine of Tuesday demands everyone spend the day washing the roof—no exceptions, no explanations. The rhythm of the city halts for one day each week, and the strange, synchronized chore becomes a surreal ritual he can’t quite grasp.
In "Capítulo IV 'El juez mecánico'," the Challengers of the Unknown—Ace Morgan, Rocky Davis, Professor Haley, and Red Ryan—find themselves in a distant future where they're arrested by the United Earth Police and brought before a cold, unfeeling machine judge. With no human trial, the machine swiftly dismisses the charges, sending them back to their own time in a single time cube, while Darius Tiko remains behind to face justice in his own era.
