- Synopsis
- A scientific expedition comes across an unknown island with stone statues resembling those on Easter Island. After one of the statues comes to life, Prof. Spears deciphers an tablet and discovers that the statues are sentries for an ancient alien base under the island. Luckily, the tablet also tells the scientists how to deactivate the sentries, and they are able to escape before the island submerges.

1) On the cover of this issue, and in the DC Special reprint, Prof. Spears has white hair. In this version, he has brown hair, looking much younger. 2) The stone sentinels, created by aliens, are similar to the giant stone heads of Easter Island, as cited in the story. Kirby would reuse the design in the first appearance of Thor, Journey into Mystery #83, as The Stone Men of Saturn.
