In "Isle of Fire!", Danny finds himself mysteriously transported 1,000,000 years into the past, inhabiting the body of a prehistoric boy named Bruk. As he adapts to life in a forgotten age, he demonstrates the clever use of weaving to catch fish, a skill that feels both foreign and instinctive. The story closes with Danny still stranded in the past, his fate uncertain. Written by Joe Kubert and illustrated with dynamic precision by Alex Toth, with cover art by Kubert himself, this 1954 St. John classic blends adventure and time-bending wonder in a strikingly visual tale.

Isle of Fire!
11 pp · Adventure, Historical

Tor hears legends of the mysterious Isle of Fire—a volcanic land where men have vanished without trace—and his curiosity drives him to brave the treacherous sea voyage to explore it. Upon landing, he discovers an enslaved people terrorized by the fierce Fire-Men, and despite the overwhelming odds, he chooses to help them fight back against their brutal oppressors. As conflict erupts at the volcano's very edge, the island itself becomes as deadly a foe as any enemy Tor must face.

In a dream that feels all too real, Danny Wakely awakens as Bruk, a prehistoric boy living a million years in the past, stranded in a world both alien and eerily familiar.
