The Unknown #1-2.
One of Jack Kirby's
first forays back into heroic adventure comics at the dawn of
the Silver Age is collected in the 2-volume Challengers of the
Unknown Archives. Rocky Davis, Professor Haley, Red Ryan, and
Ace Morgan form the quartet living on borrowed time - and on
adventuring across the globe! Four years before Jack Kirby and
Stan Lee created Marvel's Fantastic Four, there was another adventurous
foursome presented by Kirby that set forth to discover the secrets
of the universe - the Challengers of the Unknown! The Challengers
were test pilot Ace Morgan, daredevil/mountain climber Red Ryan,
heavyweight boxing champ Rocky Davis, and Professor Haley, a
scientist specializing in underwater exploration - four men who
barely survived the crash of a small aircraft and considered
themselves to be living on borrowed time! After avoiding such
a devastating fate, they dedicated themselves to a life of harrowing
adventures, all in the name of good. Nothing was deemed too dangerous
for the Challengers - after all, they should have been dead already!
The fearsome foursome faced the impossible and the unimaginable
at every turn - don't miss this chance to relive their earliest
adventures! 168 pg.
