Characters

Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Red Ryan; Prof Haley; Rocky Davis]; President Richard Nixon; Dr. Fillmore and other scientists; Computer wraith

Synopsis

The Challengers are called to investigate the killing of scientists at a secret government lab. There, they're attacked by a computer-wraith made of bundled wires charged with electricity. Prof is possessed by the monster's evil spirit and colludes to kill his friends, resisting all the while. The Challs wrap themselves with copper wire to ground the electrical charge and throw dynamite at the monster. Prof guesses Dr. Fillmore drove the computers mad just as Fillmore attacks. The dynamite goes off leaving no sign of Fillmore or the monster. But Prof knows the evil spirit still possesses him.

Synopsis

A fan thinks Jack Sparling is too busy with too many titles, and the editor notes "Invincible Vince" Colletta will now ink. Fans suggest first names for the Challengers: "What do you think of Scott Morgan, William Davis, Allen Ryan, and Robert Haley?" Girls love Tino and want him as a regular Challenger.
