Uncanny Tales #156
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Mod Monster," Jerry Siegel and Paul Reinman deliver a delightfully bizarre twist on the Mighty Crusaders' battle against Doombala, as their clash inadvertently awakens Eterno the Tyrant—Atlantis’s long-frozen conqueror—only to see him undone by an utterly unexpected foe: a lowly Atlantean mosquito. With Paul Reinman’s dynamic pencils and inks bringing the absurdity to life, this 1982 Alan Class gem stands out as a quirky, forgotten gem from a lesser-known era of superhero storytelling.
In "The Mod Monster," the Black Hood closes in on Bulgy Eyes, the man who killed Pete Hannigan, only to find the killer disguised as "Schemer" Bashby—leading to a tense cat-and-mouse game where identity and deception blur. With flashbacks to Elizabeth, Lt. Brodie, and the tragic past, the mystery deepens as the Black Hood confronts not just a criminal, but the twisted legacy of violence that still echoes.
When the Mighty Crusaders clash with Doombala, their battle inadvertently awakens Eterno the Tyrant—ancient ruler of Atlantis, frozen in suspended animation for millennia. Now freed, Eterno seeks to corrupt the heroes, but his grand scheme unravels in an unexpected way when a tiny Atlantean mosquito delivers the final blow.
In "They Call Me...Space Pirate," the notorious Sandor lands on a seemingly primitive world, expecting an easy conquest—only to discover its inhabitants are not the helpless savages he assumed, but a hidden race of psychic elites far beyond his understanding. As his crew falls under their control, Sandor finds himself outmatched in a battle not of weapons, but of mind and will.
