Letterer(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: adventure, superhero
Feature(s): Challengers of the Unknown
Character(s): Red Ryan; Prof Haley; Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Marintels (fish-men); Lavanites (lava-men)
Synopsis: Prof and Rocky are captured by fish-men, the Martinels, and try to protect them from their lava-men enemies, the Lavanites. Meanwhile, Ace and Red dive to find their buddies and encounter the lava-men. Both sides, fighting over old underwater oil pipes, plant explosives to fracture a volcano, unknowingly endangering each other. The charge goes off and the two teams bump into each other and see that they are working at cross-purposes. They insist that since both lava- and fish-races can wipe each other out, they better quit fighting. The two races make peace and the Challengers head for home.
